Hi, I wonder what type of model files do you prefer binary or text? The reason I am asking is, I am working on a conversion tool from Deled's .dxs xml files to an easy to read file format to improve loading time speed is really an issue What would you suggest?

I personally don't care—I need a format which is easy for an existing editor to output, and easy for an existing library to load.

have you ever tried to read 500 mbs of xml data?

80% are just formating data and 20% is useful data and parsing such an amount takes ages
