Has JSON ever been proposed as a file for the elements?
I am asking this because the search function returns NULL.
Perhaps this can be faster than XML.
It is certainly more readable than XML.
No JSON was not proposed.
Elements file are in xml and will stay xml for the following reasons :
-It's the original file format and everything in the code about element are for xml.
-Elements are embedded in the .qet file and .qet file is xml, we don't embedded a JSON collection inside the xml of the .qet.
-JSON need to write new code and so need lot of time and debbuging.
-Not retrocompatible with xml element file (or have two codes, one for xml another for JSON, a big headache and a big sources of bug and weird behavior)
-I think JSON is not faster than xml (pugi xml vs Qt JSON) and if so I think we will don't gain a lot.
They look the problem come from how Windows access to file, I search if something like ram disk can improve the loading of collection.
Don't forget even if qet start-up on windows is slow, he is much faster than before since we use pugixml and multithreading..... but I hope we can do better
