SQLite is hugely more complex and therefore brittle and difficult to debug that this. Especially if you absolutely need 100% reliable compatibility between many different devices. Even more so if the format need to be part of a standard and/or a contract.

- SQLite is damn easy. - It's almost a standard due to licensing. - Tiny, really tiny.

  Ah the difference between easy and simple! It would be simple to implement an append-only writer in Recutils. I don't know where I'd start if I wanted that for Sqlite. I don't think the format allows it.

    You would write a program that opens the database and perform insert statements.

      I meant append-only on the filesystem layer which allows stream-reading for example.

        I understand. I think should be avoided.

  Go ahead and compare the SLOC count with a parser for the "rec" format. Also, why are you ignoring the other points?
