Having the fastest possible parser could be a I did a project long ago that used a text file like the pcb-menu.res file (yaml-like). It was stored on ascii but at one point we designed a binary representation designed for fast loading and smaller disk storage. The speedup was much greater than we expected (it was a large commonly-used file). We had utilities to convert between ascii and binary representations. So let's not rule out a binary *alternative* format too soon ;-)
