Which file format should I use if I need to edit it from different processes? (lemmy.kde.social)

Hello! I'm writing a Qt/c++ program that should write and read data on a file, while another process does the same. What file format should I use to prevent conflicts?

For a local application this sounds like a poor design choice to have multiple file writing processes (edit: I guess I assumed you would write to a single file). You can have those processes write to a queue instead and have a 3rd process write the queue to a file (or have a chosen process of the two to write).
