Re: [Toad-devel] File format for tournament information

[Erik Ouchterlony]

I'm neither an expert or big fan of XML, but my feeling is that this is
exactly the type of data that XML is really useful for. It is very nice to
be able to concentrate on the data and not worry about the format. It is
also flexible, so that we can add or change things without breaking
backward compatibility.

Writing a simple parser for an XML-file isn't much harder than writing
parser for a homebrewn format, is it?
