Alder Books Reconciliation: Trial balance JSON

Trial balance JSON for Alder Books Reconciliation. The same 9 accounts as trial-balance.csv with the totals lifted into their own object: debit 13100.00, credit 13100.00, difference 0.00. The TOTAL row is not repeated inside the accounts array, so summing the array cannot double count.

Expected to pass
Scenario
Parse the trial balance and recompute the difference from the account array.
Expected result
accounts has 9 members and no TOTAL row; summing debit gives 13100.00 and credit 13100.00, so the computed difference is 0.00, matching the totals object.

What is a .json file?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight, text-based data-interchange format representing objects, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans, and null. It is language-independent, human-readable, and the dominant format for web APIs and configuration. It requires a single well-formed root value.

How to use this file

Use an example JSON file to test parsers and serializers, schema validation, Unicode and number-precision handling, and API request or response processing.

How to use this file for testing

“Alder Books Reconciliation: Trial balance JSON” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Data import. Realistic faker-generated datasets with documented schemas for testing import and ETL flows.

Documented properties for this file: UTF-8. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.

Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such, expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.

Data fixtures document their exact quirks (delimiters, encodings, null handling, schema, and row counts) in the spec table. Point your parser or importer at the file and assert it handles the documented edge cases; clean and deliberately-messy siblings make before/after diffs straightforward.

Code examples

import json

with open("trial-balance.json") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
print(type(data), len(data))
