Description

Hi all,

since I wanted to work on the topic discussed on Trinitycore - Tool for Scripters/DB devs , I think that a first preparation step needed is to format the output in a more efficient and machine-readable way.

XML seems to be a good candidate since it is tree based (and therefore efficiently explorable) and can be compressed really well (ever heard about EXI)?

I'm doing some experiments on my fork, any ideas about this?
