I hope that what we're suggesting is that the plan is to (finally) dump the
binary format entirely and move to a collection of text files, whether they
be XML, YAML, JSON, etc.
Yes, the Project mode currently in Beta seems designed to achieve exactly that.
In fact maybe you missed JPR's reply as it was in another thread:
I said:
But, I still need to fully understand exactly why 4D is not eliminating the
interpreted structure binary .4DB file completely at this time? Maybe 4D plan
to do so eventually? Was this question asked at the last tour? If we are given
the Project feature then we should be all in and have no option but to embrace
it and source code repos such as Git, since, pretty much every other
programming language is doing it this way.
JPR responded:
AFAIK, if you use the Project mode, you don't need any binary, for everything
is in text files (.json, .xml, .txt, .4DProject, .css, . 4DCatalog , .4dm,
.4DForm, etc.) The .4DB is not necessary.
