[linux-dvb] AW: Re: Channel database format for dvbsak

["Florian Schirmer" <jolt@tuxbox.org>]

Hi,

>Second, if size and speed matters (think of set-top-boxes like the
dbox2), XML is the wrong format.

Doh 8-) We _are_ using XML in many places. As Holger outlined, the
channel list is loaded once and than never touched again until the next
reboot. So loading speed isn't a real issue.

As long as a parser for that particular format is availible it doesnt
really matter what you choose. But if this is some cind of poll - i vote
for XML because it's human read- and editable and (more important) easy
to extend without loosing compatibility to older/newer tools.

Just my 2 (Euro) cents,
   Florian
