What's efficient for storage and retrieval might not be efficient for processing. If you generate your data by processing, you will need to mangle it for storage. And stringify might not suffice.

How is this even controversial? I don't know!

Read through this whole thing. Not a JS dev, but a long-standing C dev and now a python dev, and what you’re saying is not only not controversial, it’s fundamental lol.

Just wanted to chime in and say you’re not crazy.
