File Structure

├── main.py          # Main application entry point
├── auth.py          # Authentication and user management
├── model.py         # Student data model
├── service.py       # Student operations and business logic
├── users.txt        # User credentials (JSON format)
├── data.txt         # Student records (JSON format)
└── README.md        # This file

Data Storage

• users.txt - Stores user credentials and roles
• data.txt - Stores all student records and their marks

Both files use JSON format for easy readability and modification.

Security Notes

• Passwords are stored in plain text (not for production use)
• For production, implement proper password hashing (bcrypt, argon2)
• Use environment variables for sensitive data
• Implement database instead of JSON files

Future Enhancements

• Database integration (SQL)
• Password encryption/hashing
• REST API interface
• Web UI dashboard
• Email notifications
• Backup and restore functionality
• Advanced analytics and insights
• Multi-class management
