Let's talk about File I/O! But first, enjoy this gif of a turtle making the best of a sticky situation.

Write a program that asks the user to enter information about a particular good or service (it could be an album, game, book, car, etc). Ask for at least five different attributes, like title, author, and genre. Save the information to a file as a JSON object. When the program runs again, it should read the file and print out the data, then give the user the option to update it.

• Prompt the user to answer at least five different questions about a good or service.
• Save the information into a JSON object in a file.
• When the program first boots, read the file and display the contents.
• Give the user the ability to update the information and re-save it to the file.
• If the JSON parsing fails, give a friendly error rather than crashing the program.

• Write a test for the save/load methods.

• Add the ability to have multiple goods and services (in quantity and type)
