Description

Dave has recommended that DWDS internal data storage and operations employ a minimalist tabular data format which does not require all the special characters or idiosyncracies of JSON. Upon reflection Joseph realized that he had already removed non-essential JSON formatting from the Logic Gate and Lookup Table data structures, using the 'bar' character | as the separator. Dave suggests that we can retain the JSON format export for any users who want the output that way, but that we ought to eliminate JSON from our internal operations.

This issue will host discussion of this suggestion, and include illustrations for this DWDS 'minimum tabular formats'.

The JSON files would end in .json, whereas these DWDS files would end in .dwd
