 ### JSON_DUPLICATE_KEYS.flatten(`separator`="||", `parse_index`="$", `ordered_dict`=False, `_isDebug_`=True)
 _Flatten a JSON object to a single key-value pairs_
+- `separator`: 
+- `parse_index`: 
+- `ordered_dict`: preserves the order in which the Keys are inserted
+- `_isDebug_`: Show/ Hide debug error messages
 ```python
+import json_duplicate_keys as jdks

 ### JSON_DUPLICATE_KEYS.unflatten(`separator`="||", `parse_index`="$", `ordered_dict`=False, `_isDebug_`=True)
 _Unflatten a flattened JSON object back to a JSON object_
+- `separator`:

+- `ordered_dict`: preserves the order in which the Keys are inserted
+- `_isDebug_`: Show/ Hide debug error messages
