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?
