How to Implement a Data Helper for Microservices in Python
Create a reusable helper class to serialize, deserialize, and wrap data for microservice communication using dataclasses and JSON.
import json
from dataclasses import dataclass, asdict
from typing import Any, Dict, List
@dataclass
class ServiceResponse:
status: str
data: Any
message: str = ""
class DataHelper:
"""Simple helper for microservice data handling."""
@staticmethod
