The connector's own docstring, verbatim. It lives beside the code so it cannot drift from it.
South Korea Ministry of Data and Statistics CPI connector.
The Ministry's monthly CPI release publishes the national headline and twelve expenditure divisions with their current index, month-over-month rate, year-over-year rate, and basket weight. Weights are parts per thousand and are divided by 1,000 before storage. The release also contains overlapping analytical aggregates; they are intentionally excluded from this composition tree. KOSIS's public 100-indicator JSON route supplies the continuous 2020-base headline history back to 1965. Its newest month is omitted from the history resource because the contemporaneous release carries the same cell.
