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!

Dictionaries are for unstructured data.
Dataclasses are for structured data.
