I have a use case where I’d like to store a handful of strings with static values, alongside my code that references them. The general reason for not hard coding them where they’re called, is that I’d like to make it easy for the end user to customize and modify them.

Are there any suggestions or comments about the best ways to do this? Storing them in a python file as vars seems reasonable. I’ve also considered saving them as JSON, though I don’t know if there’s any benefit to that in this case.

Thoughts are appreciated.

    json schema + json allows you to extend beyond key/value pairs & the input validation is “free”.
