Hi Dominic,
I have no compelling reason for your use case, I am simply not a fan of reinventing
yet another file format.  Earlier this week I wrote VTK file reading for an application
of mine, and that was simple and pretty using tinyxml2.
If you think that "for all other uses, one should consider the dgfparser",
how about using the dgf format for backup/restore right away?

Best,
Oliver
