Hi, @acezen . I think we can highlight the benefits of splitting vertices/edges into chunks and splitting properties into property_groups (why we split that) for a little list, like:

1. Random access querying without reading all data from the file.
2. Appending data without modifying the existing files(or need only modifying the last chunk).

Maybe the third point: convenience for parallel reading.

Looks cool! One question: as I see, Timestamp and Date are already supported in #398, maybe we can update status.rst in this PR? Or it will be a separated PR?

Thanks for pointing out, I will update the status.rst in this PR.
