Abstract
Methods and apparatus for dynamic and hybrid representation of data structures. A computer program product for representing a data structure includes instructions to cause a processor to receive information associated with the data structure, and determine how to represent the data structure as one of a tree representation, a breadcrumb representation, and a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation. The product is tangibly stored on machine-readable media. A method for representing a data structure includes representing the data structure as a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation.
Claims30
A method for representing a data structure, comprising:
- representing the data structure as a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation.
A computer program product, tangibly stored on machine readable media, for representing a data structure, the product comprising instructions to cause a processor to:
- receive information associated with the data structure;
- and
- determine how to represent the data structure as one of a tree representation, a breadcrumb representation, and a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation based at least in part on the received information.
A system for representing a data structure comprising:
- a component including
- criteria used to determine how to represent the data structure in a data structure representation;
- operation information and data information related to a previous application of the criteria to represent the data structure;
- and
- rearrangement logic used to dynamically reuse the operation information and data information from the previous application in a further application of the criteria to determine how to rearrange the data structure into a further data structure representation.
