Are there any best practices or recommended approaches for saving music data to a text file for visualization?

When saving music data to a text file for visualization, it is recommended to use a structured format such as JSON or CSV to easily parse and visualize the data later. This allows for better organization and readability of the saved music data. 

<?php
// Sample music data to save to a text file
$musicData = [
    ['song' => 'Song 1', 'artist' => 'Artist 1', 'genre' => 'Pop'],
    ['song' => 'Song 2', 'artist' => 'Artist 2', 'genre' => 'Rock'],
    ['song' => 'Song 3', 'artist' => 'Artist 3', 'genre' => 'Hip Hop'],
];

// Convert music data to JSON format
$musicDataJson = json_encode($musicData);

// Save music data to a text file
$file = 'music_data.json';
file_put_contents($file, $musicDataJson);
echo 'Music data saved to ' . $file;
?>
