Go use xml. It is fast, it is designed for such kind of things, it is
widely supported and easily read by other processes. By using the
register as a storage resources you will make your system slows down,
even that the process of retrieving information is a little faster *
for me it isn't at least.
Or embed sqlite in your software if you plan to have a really large
amount of data stored.
