Hello.

I'm looking for ideas for a note-taking app. I would like to know if there is a better idea as to where store the notes (these are dependent on the author and title of a book) the user is going to take.

I have thought of using a XML file for storage, the hierarchy of the file would be like this:

<Parent node>
<Author>
<Title>
</Title>
</Author>
<...and so on>
</Parent node>

This file would be then loaded into different data tables (3: author, title, notes), for editing the information would be read from and written to each data table. Before closing or when the user wants to, the information would be written to the XML file.

I have a sense that this isn't the most efficient way of achieving this. This is also a to-be-used-at-home app.

Thank you.
