there are third-party libraries for this. but if you want to have persistent data, why don’t you try serialization and deserialization? or if the information is vast in size then maybe server based/less databases.

I find the simplest way is to write the data in CSV (Comma-Separated Values) format. Excel will open it as a natively recognized format and it is easily manipulated by programs and humans since it is in text format.
