Sqlite is nice but the file would not be readable in a plaintext-like format from my understanding.
Yes, but devil's advocate: you also need a program to text files, needing a program to read sqlite files is not worse.
I am confused by your requirements. Why do you need to store your data as json or XML? Would it suit your requirements to read in text files, convert to sqlite for processing and then save as a text file? What do you gain by being able to edit the files in a text editor, as opposed to a table editor? Do you maybe just need a config file (e.g. in toml format) and don't actually do much data processing?
