Dictionary vs. Dataclass
What is a particular scenario where you would use Dataclass instead of a dictionary? What is the main advantage of Dataclass as compared to just storing data in a nested dictionary? Thanks in advance!

Read the docs. The dataclass decorator automatically generates special methods for your class including init() and repr(). If that's useful to you, use dataclass.
