For special purposes and requirements, I would recommend
to develop a special file format.

Or, if other game engines' formats could be re-used
without legal problems, and no re-engeneering from the
source is necessary, one could re-use those formats.

For example, if your code is GPLed, I would have some
Python-stuff in mind...

But possibly you have to code you another "Bridge" ;-)
between this stuff and your Ocaml-program.


To re-use in some cases needs more time than to re-invent. :-)

It seems that you already know, what things you
want to write to the files, so then the fileformat it's
specification is at hand.
