Hi Philip,
Thanks for bringing up the topic.
While it's true that consolidating selectors into a single JSON file may initially seem unconventional, it does offer several notable benefits. Firstly, it centralizes all selectors in one easily accessible location, which can significantly simplify maintenance efforts, particularly in larger and more complex projects. This centralized approach enhances organization and minimizes the need to search through multiple pages or classes to find specific selectors.

Additionally, JSON's structured format provides advantages in terms of manipulation and management of selectors. Unlike the Page Object Model (POM) approach, which involves embedding selectors directly into code files, using JSON allows for more straightforward updates and modifications.

And thanks for reading, I hope this blog was helpful to you.
