📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved JSON error handling with more precise detection and clearer messages, including line and column details to help diagnose issues faster.

• Documentation

  • Refined tone and wording in the Open Source Commitment section for clarity and inclusivity.
  • Corrected minor punctuation and typography.
  • Cleaned up formatting by removing extraneous blank lines.

Walkthrough

Updated DataProcessorNode example in documentation to parse inputs.data with json.loads, catch json.JSONDecodeError (including line/column in the message), preserve operation branching, and return a single consolidated success response with the result JSON-stringified.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Docs: DataProcessorNode & copy edits docs/docs/index.md	Replaced a broad except with except json.JSONDecodeError in the DataProcessorNode example; added error message line/column (line {e.lineno}, column {e.colno}); consolidated the success return to return self.Outputs(result=json.dumps(result), status="success"); minor wording and punctuation edits (Open Source Commitment sentence, contractions) and removed extraneous blank lines.

Possibly related issues

• Replace bare except clause with specific JSON decode error handling in documentation example #281 — Matches replacement of a bare except with json.JSONDecodeError and addition of line/column in the error message for the same docs example.

• Minor fixes in docs #283 — Modifies the same DataProcessorNode JSON error-handling example; likely touches the same lines and intent.

Poem

A whisker-twitch, a JSON nibble,
I parse the carrots, bit by scribble.
If crumbs misplace on line or column,
I thump an error, clear and solemn.
If tidy, I hop back: “success” — neatly strung. 🥕🐇

Summary of Changes

Hello @KatharinaJacoby, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request refines an example within the documentation to demonstrate more robust and specific error handling for JSON parsing. By replacing a broad exception catch with a targeted json.JSONDecodeError, the example promotes best practices and provides more informative feedback in case of malformed JSON input.

Highlights

• Improved Error Handling: The example code in docs/docs/index.md now specifically catches json.JSONDecodeError instead of a generic except.
• Enhanced Error Messages: The error message for invalid JSON now includes the specific line and column number where the decoding error occurred, aiding in debugging.

Code Review

This pull request is a good improvement as it replaces a generic except block with a more specific json.JSONDecodeError, which is a best practice in Python. However, the new code block in the documentation example has an indentation error, which makes the Python code invalid. I've included a suggestion to fix this.
