- Error Handling: Added error handling for file operations, JSON parsing, and invalid rule structures. Logs warnings for invalid rules instead of crashing.
- Unique Rule IDs: Each rule is assigned a unique id to avoid collisions in ModSecurity.
- Path Handling: Used pathlib.Path for better path manipulation and readability.
- Logging: Replaced print() with Python's logging module for more flexible and structured logging.
- Input Validation: Added checks for missing keys in the input JSON file.
- Template for Rules: Used a template string (MODSEC_RULE_TEMPLATE) for consistent rule formatting.
- Output Directory Permissions: Ensured the output directory is created with parents=True to handle nested directories.
