Why shouldn't you use YAML to store eye tracking data? /s (lemmy.world)

YAML is not a good format for this. But any line based or steamable format would be good enough for log data like this. Really easy to parse with any language or even directly with shell scripts. No need to even know SQL, any text processing would work fine.
