It's a binary format. There's a 4-byte header that gives you the database version (currently version 3) followed by the serialized list of directories (path, rank, and timestamp). The code for it is here, and the format used for serialization is called bincode. |

Have you tried the CLI? Check out A lot of third party plugins have been written that use zoxide (listed on the README), they all leverage the CLI. |
