description of the project This is the first step towards building your first full web application: the AirBnB clone. The tasks of project include:- put in place a parent class (called BaseModel) to take care of the initialization, serialization and deserialization of your future instances create a simple flow of serialization/deserialization: Instance <-> Dictionary <-> JSON string <-> file create all classes used for AirBnB (User, State, City, Place…) that inherit from BaseModel create the first abstracted storage engine of the project: File storage. create all unittests to validate all our classes and storage engine.

The command interpreter enables to manage the objects of our project: Create a new object (ex: a new User or a new Place) Retrieve an object from a file, a database etc… Do operations on objects (count, compute stats, etc…) Update attributes of an object Destroy an object
