## Card database format
Continuumatrice currently reads **Cockatrice XML v4** (schema `doc/carddatabase_v4/cards.xsd`). This is a database description and card list, not the rendered card images. You do not need to build new parsing logic to playtest your own cards.
Continuumatrice reads its native **Continuumatrice XML v4**, and also accepts legacy Cockatrice XML v4 for import (schema `doc/carddatabase_v4/cards.xsd`). This is a database description and card list, not the rendered card images. You do not need to build new parsing logic to playtest your own cards.
A self-contained *test-only* main database `cards.xml` can look like:
```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<cockatrice_carddatabase version="4">
<continuumatrice_carddatabase version="4">

7. Check normal Cockatrice's profile is still intact and can open separately.
**Magic Set Editor** is an editor for card layouts and card content, but its native project format is not Cockatrice XML v4. You will need a matching export script/template or a conversion pipeline that writes this XML and the image files.
## Native XML root
Continuumatrice generates and accepts `<continuumatrice_carddatabase version="4">`. Existing `<cockatrice_carddatabase version="4">` files are still accepted by the parser, so older set-export pipelines can be migrated safely rather than rewritten blindly.
