Replace bare except clause with specific JSON decode error handling in documentation example #281

Description

Description

The documentation example in docs/docs/exosphere/index.md uses a bare except: clause when parsing JSON, which is not a best practice and sets a poor example for users.

Current Code

try:
data=json.loads(self.inputs.data)
except:
returnself.Outputs(
result="",
status="error: invalid json"
)

Suggested Fix

try:
data=json.loads(self.inputs.data)
exceptjson.JSONDecodeError:
returnself.Outputs(
result="",
status="error: invalid json"
)

Why This Matters

  • Bare except clauses catch all exceptions, potentially hiding bugs
  • Documentation should demonstrate best practices
  • Specific exception handling makes code more maintainable and debuggable
