EDIT: Currently files are plain XML, if it's relevant. Not made using auto xml serialization, but rather a homebrew xml serialization devised by Daniel, we basically construct the XML by hand for each object.

Isn't XML a bit overkill for the task, when something like old excel-style csv could perhaps be plenty enough? Sherlock


CSV is convenient if you have flat data, containing one-to-one relations, not the thing you will expect with stars. XML is more flexible - you can add elements here and there, perfect feature for an actively developed project.
So among textual formats I think XML is pretty nice choice.
