Comment (by eschnett):

 ASCII data also require tools to access the data. Opening a file in an
 editor is fine, but is not useful for any kind of post-processing. SQLite
 is a standard tool that a really easy to install and use. XML would be
 another approach, but is significantly more difficult to process. (For
 example, to modify the state written into a file, one has to read the
 file, parse all entries, modify the internal data structure, and then
 write out the file again -- presumably much slower than just a call to
 SQLite.)

 What kinds of analysis post-processing are you performing on Formaline's
 output? Are you using particular tools? Have you experimented with saving
 or combining these output files?
