I mean, what's the alternative aside from spinning up a MariaDB for your small local app? I can still remember the swamp of .ini files some older programs used for this or the totally overblown Windows Registry. Not a good time.
CSV or a spreadsheet (xlsx/ods)?
You didnt specify it had to be a good optio ;)
db.txt
Now you're just trying to hand-roll your own DBMS. Have fun with that. It won't work out
Pretty sure lots of projects use json files, before that it was probably XML. Are those good or even decent alternatives? Probably depends on the amount of data ...
