Having issues with json .dump? How do you handle encoding errors? or What's the best way to use json

Ugh, encoding errors are the worst! json .dump defaults to ASCII, so it freaks out over emojis or special chars.

A quick fix? Use `json.dumps()` first to check the output before dumping to a file. Sometimes the error message gives you a clue about which character’s causing trouble.
