Boom! What is the program to open (understand) it? Even my elixir's core lib cannot understand it.
- lionkor 4y agoAny SQLite client, which has not only been included on many devices for 20+ years, but you can also just install `sqlite3` and open it manually anyways. You also cannot open an image file without an image viewer, a pdf file without a pdf viewer, and any "hand rolled" raw text format you built yourself (if the file gets large enough) WILL be unreadable just as much. Or any SQL DB viewer, like DataGrip.
- Existenceblinks 4y agoThere is tons of photo viewers, tons of pdf viewers, to the point the market is max saturated because it IS SO EASY to create and lots of demands drive the creation. Unlike file format for developers with sophisticated spec. You can also claim that Postgresql is just a bunch of files and folders, it's just viewer, it's just a binary code that read it blah blah.
