When is a class more useful to use than a function? Is there any hard or fast rule that I should know about? Is it language dependent? I’m intending on writing a script for Python which will parse different types of json data, and my gut feeling is that I should use a class to do this, versus a function.
You should use a class when your routine needs to save state. Otherwise a function will suffice.
