Internal data format #7

Closed mattjohnsonpint closed 6 years ago

mattjohnsonpint commented 9 years ago

Originally, I used protobuf to get the job done quickly while still ensuring a compact internal representation. However, I'd rather not have the external dependency.

Need to explore other options, such as a custom format, gzip compression, etc.

Would this include the possibility of a CSV or similar file for those of us not using C#?

mattjohnsonpint commented 8 years ago

Sorry, but no. I'm not prepared to support that as a direct consumable. However, you could indeed use the library to generate such a file for a particular language.

To anyone else interested in this issue, I've now sort of done this at:
