Notes

This function supports two file formats:

1. JSON format (default): Converts the RCAIDE data structure to a JSON string using the build_dict_base and build_dict_r helper functions, then writes it to a file.

2. Pickle format: Serializes the Python object directly to a binary file. The .pkl extension is automatically added to the filename.

JSON format is human-readable and more portable across different Python versions, while pickle format is more efficient for large data structures but less portable.
