Enlighten me, please. Why is (safely) writing a structured text file
fundamentally more secure/easy/failsafe then (safely) writing a single value
into a text file?
A structured file is only much easier to handle in an application not
safer to write.
A database-like file is safer to write (and even more easier to handle
in an app).
Simo.
