@aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place come on, what about the huge flexibility of CSV? You can put any kind of data in any format with it! If you ever want to read that data back, however, yeah, then XML is needed :-)

@lenotaire@mastodon.social @aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place jokes aside I know of a company who moved most of their data from mongodb into gzipped CSV files in folders. Basically using folders/symlinks as tables/indices, and the file system cache as memory store. The cluster size dropped from 60 TiB to 3, and performance went up significantly, lol.
