I think I use SQLite like that (to some extent):

- https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database

For UI I use HTML, because it already provides components with bootrap, and everybody can use it without installation of any software.

All data comes from a single SQLite that is easy read, and returns data.

My database is really big, so it takes time to browse it, I wanted to provide more meaningful way to limit scope of searching

Searched for this topic:

That is pretty amazing. You could do a lot worse.

Same as .zip, .xml, .json and many others.

Doesn't mean that whatever the app stores inside will remain backward compatible which is the harder problem to solve.
