Worming on a small project, and have been doing a lot of Perl scripting to parse various types of files to populate the database. Now I need to get data from a cloud services provider (time-keeping). They have a REST API that returns data in a JSOSN format. So here is the question, should I just manually parse this data, as I have been doing to insert into appropriate entities into the database? Or should I insert the JSON data, and use some queries in the database to populate my tables from the JSON tables?
I use Python for this sort of thing. A JSON array of objects maps so nicely to a Python list of dicts that I just do the parsing in Python and INSERT the parsed data into the table.
