Sorry if I missed smth in docs. But why a .ck file format?)

Good question, the actual format for the file for storage isn't standardized yet. It will be for the 1.0.0 release. At the moment it is actually just messagepack. The current bleeding edge has actually been reverted to json. I am currently thinking about choosing bson over messagepack to remove the limitation we currently have for number of document.

TLDR; .ck is a placeholder file-type for what will eventually be a custom binary encoding of JSON-like objects.
