''' 
    NOTE for Future work
    output comes like: [
        str(dict),....
    ]
    expected is [
        dict,....
    ]

    Cause of this issue: "\\" is getting converted to "\\\\"
    also dict is as string (which means 
    "{ => { 
        and 
    "} => }
    )

    make sure to convert the SdRd to S'R' (only in name)
