NB: We can't use a generator here to make a python object of the data,
to then use json.dumps() on because the raw_data is a *string* (decoded
from what we received from the CAPI service), and thus it will get
encoded as such, i.e.
"raw_data": "{\"id\":322...
when we want:
"raw_data": {"id":322...
We do not want to json.loads() that string only to then json.dumps() it
because the whole point is that this is the **raw** data to help
diagnose any issues with the CAPI service/data. Such a conversion and
back could either throw an exception we don't want here (because we want
the raw data) or possibly distort things from what was actually
received.

This application is only of use to PC players of the game Elite Dangerous (and its expansions). It won't work with PS4 or Xbox accounts.
It utilises the Journal files written by the game on the user's computer, together with data from the API Frontier Developments supplies in order to feed this data to various third party sites that the user may find useful.
See the Wiki documentation for more details.
