The [ ]Raw Export option checkbox on the Choose the output format page

The Raw Exporter will dump your SQLite3(default) or BSDDB database; into a raw Python object representation format for low-level manipulation.

This has been used for byte-wise comparisons to make sure that different import/export functions process the data correctly.

Example output

The output file [filenamename].raw can be opened and viewed in a text editor. Here is a sample using the the example.gramps family tree:
