Review Summary
Thank you for your hard work! However, there is a critical issue with how expenses are appended to db/expense.json. The current logic does not correctly handle the case where the file already contains an array, which can lead to data loss or an invalid data structure. Please revise your code to first check if the parsed data is an array and append the new expense accordingly. If it's an object, convert it to an array with both the existing and new expense. If it's empty, initialize it as an array with the new expense. Once this is fixed, your solution will fully meet the requirements. Keep going—you’re almost there! 🚀

Issue: The logic for updating 'parsedFileData' is incorrect. If 'parsedFileData' is already an array, the code will not reach the 'Array.isArray(parsedFileData)' branch due to the previous 'if (typeof parsedFileData === 'object')' and its nested conditions. This can lead to incorrect data structure and loss of previous expenses. You should first check if 'parsedFileData' is an array, and if so, push the new expense. If it's an object (and not an array), convert it to an array with the existing object and the new one. If it's empty, initialize it as an array with the new expense. Please revise this logic to ensure expenses are always stored as an array and new entries are appended correctly.
