Plaintext

Plaintext format stores data exactly how you would expect it to - as plain text. What's actually written to the file is the string representation of the fileObj variable. Opening the file will reveal a single line of text being a python dictionary. This is useful for porting dictionaries across python scripts without pyndb, and also for large configurations that aren't meant to be read unless absolutely necessary. Like JSON data, it cannot store objects*.

*Objects can be stored if their __str__ value is a command that recreates the object.
