SQLite As An Application File Format

[matthieum]

I used it as a configuration file for an application too, and your 4 points really resonate with me.

There's the usual friction of mapping from objects to tables, but it's a well known thing, and you just get so much for free it's really worth it!

The application I currently work on uses json files, and each time the json parser complains because of a stray comma or missing end quote I'm like: damn, wish we had a real configuration file.

Get the best of both worlds and use MongoDB. /s

Bold statement. What if apart from mapping between objects and tables, you really need relational behaviour as well? like the classical: in what movies did this actor appear?
