here's the thing: I download a bunch of data in JSON format. I put that into an array of dictionaries. Then, I save to disk. One dictionary stores a link to some image. What I would like to do is to store also the actual image (not the link!) along with rest of the data. How would you start? Which way to go?

I would download the image and save the local path alongside the URL path.
However, if you're going for one big file, you could always base64-encode it.
I think using the filesystem directly and saving your local path would be more efficient and effective than one monolithic file, as you'll save a lot of parsing and encode/decode time.
