Struggling with parsed data? Same.
Tabula is great for pulling tables from PDFs—way cleaner than trying to parse manually.
For JSON, jsonpath-ng in Python lets you query like XPath. Super handy for deep nesting.
And yeah, structure changes are why I now write defensive code. Assume nothing!

Parsed data giving you grief? Try Google Sheets’ QUERY function for quick cleanups.
For bigger jobs, Apache NiFi automates a lot of the parsing and transformation. Steep learning curve, but worth it.
Also, +1 to logging raw data. You’ll thank yourself later when the parsed data inevitably breaks.
