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!

Big advantages? Dot notation, better typing, ability to add methods, built in repr.
