Hello all,
What do people recommend for a file format for a python desktop
application? Data is complex with 100s/1000s of class instances, which
reference each other.
Write the file with struct module? (Rebuild object pointers, safe,
compact, portable, not expandable without reserved space)
Use cPickle with a module/class whitelist? (Can't easily port, not
entirely safe, compact enough, expandable)
Use JSON or similar? (Rebuild object pointers, portable, expandable, size?)
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
