What to use to store game data?

Question

Game development

Hello!
What do developers typically use to store game data?
What is better to use for an RPG game where you will need to store a lot of items?
I'm thinking about SQLite. Is this the optimal choice?
Desktop game.

Answer 1

If we are talking about a desktop game, then SQLite is quite suitable. It is quite suitable even to keep all the data directly in the code, the database is needed mainly for complex selections from a large amount of data. If you have a hundred items, then without a database, it is quite possible that it will be even faster.
