Course Description

A quick tutorial using  OrderedDict, JSON, and the path module to store a skeleton pose in maya into a JSON file on disk and recover it and pose a skeleton. This might be useful if you're creating a pose library of animators or a way to store positions on animation controls too! 

JSON is a great way to store data as it's a common format used to insert data into databases and it's human editable and readable. 

Notes some common JSON gotchas: 
1. only double quotes in JSON no single quotes.

2. no trailing commas in JSON.

3. JSON likes simple data types. e.g., you have to convert tuples to lists .
