- Human-Readable Structure: Unlike binary save files or JSON (which is more compact but less self-documenting), XML allows nested tags that mirror decision trees intuitively.
- Hierarchical Logic: Life choices are naturally hierarchical. A chapter (
<chapter>) contains events (<event>), which contain options (<option>). XML maps directly to this.
- Cross-Platform Support: Almost every programming language (Python, C#, Java, JavaScript) has robust XML parsers. A Life Selector XML can feed into a web app, a Unity game, or a desktop simulator without conversion.
- Extensibility: You can add custom attributes (e.g.,
requires="wealth > 50") without breaking legacy parsers.
