There are many advantages to using SQLite as an application file format,
including:
</p>

<ol type="1">
<li><b>Better performance</b>
<ul>




<li> The application only has to load the data it needs, rather
     than reading the entire file and holding a complete parse
     in memory.
<li> Small edits only overwrite the parts of the file that change,
     reducing write time and wear on SSD drives.
<li> In many cases, loading content from an SQLite database
     is faster than reading individual files from disk.
     See [Internal Versus External BLOBs] and
     [faster than the filesystem|35% Faster Than The Filesystem].
</ul>
<li><b>Reduced application cost and complexity</b>
<ul>
<li> No application file I/O code to write and debug.
<li> Content can be accessed and updated using concise SQL queries instead
     of lengthy and error-prone procedural routines.
<li> The file format can be extended in future releases simply
