TabularFile

An abstraction for holding tabular data in a single file. That is, a list of columns with specified data types and rows containing the values of every column stored within rows within a file. The order of the columns is important. (first column, second column, etc.). The order of the rows is relevant (first row, second row, etc.).

There are only two types: numeric and text. The numeric type should be used for numeric data (float, double, long, int, etc.). In addition, use the numeric type for boolean values, which are stored 1.0 = true, 0.0 = false). The text type should be used for strings and date/time data. Date/time data is saved as ISO8601 strings ("YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.SSS"). If you need more type complexity, you should use a database.
