I don't know. I`m putting something on the table, in case a simple file format not feet our cross-platforms needs. How do we know if a simple file format is all we need?
Because keys, values, and key/value pairs in the Pd preferences are themselves simple: keys: ascii string containing no spaces values: number, numbers separated by whitespace, ascii string with no whitespace, and file paths. Finally, the key/value pairs in Pd preferences are simple enough that there isn't a need to nest key/value pairs inside other key/value pairs.
You would spend more time figuring out how to parse the XML tags in C than you would parsing the actual data contained in them. -Jonathan
If a simple one is enough, better, btw.

That is right. But all characters, tabs, lf/cr or what ever con be hold inside <whatwewant> </whatwewant>
What problem does that solve which a simple format doesn't solve? -Jonathan
It could be a pseudo parser.
