Change or completely overwrite a JSON file?

Question

JSON

There is a collection of defined objects. The state of the collection is stored in a JSON file.
The question itself: when adding / deleting / changing any object, is it more correct to add (search for changing / deleting) this particular object in the JSON file, or just take and completely overwrite the entire collection?

Answer 1

If the file is small (conditionally - kilobytes), then it is easier and faster to overwrite the entire file.
