Remarks

Only reading, and only a long at a known path. Everything else in the file is skipped without being kept. That is all the app needs from it, and not reason enough to take on a library.

It never throws. A world file is somebody's save: it can be truncated by a crash, still being written by the server, or from a version that lays it out differently. Any of those answers "not found", never an exception in the middle of opening a dialog. Lengths and nesting are bounded for the same reason, so a damaged file cannot ask for gigabytes.
