Thank you everyone for the input so far. The point that json is already widely-supported by other tooling is an excellent one; I will target json. I will also try to retain a parser for the older format -- maybe behind a switch.

The data format within the database won't be changed by this work, just the file format used by dump and undump. Separately, I believe we do have plans to consolidate some of the databases in some way, but I don't remember the details offhand, nor do I have a timeline. I would hope that when we do this, we'll provide adequate migration documentation and/or tools as part of it. ;) Cheers, ellie ------------------------------------------ Cyrus: Devel Permalink: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/Tea9b3c8c5728d1e8-M2f24b62edd8ae1e17ba7919f Delivery options: https://cyrus.topicbox.com/groups/devel/subscription
