Object Creation Based on Copying Objects Corresponding to Similar Entities

A system for providing a list of entities, comprising:

• a server that obtains a list of entities responsive to a request from a client, wherein each entity in the list includes a set of attribute name-value pairs;
• a sort module that recursively divides the list of entities into subgroups based on an attribute name in the set until each entity in the corresponding subgroup has the same attribute name-value pairs, wherein for each division resulting in a plurality of subgroups including one or more entities, the sort module assigns a subgroup number to each of the corresponding entity's attribute names by which the division is based, and wherein each entity in a common subgroup of the plurality of subgroups has the same subgroup number;
• a parser that generates a logical message tree of entities, wherein an order of the entities in the logical message tree is based on the assigned subgroup numbers, wherein the parser sorts the list of entities based on the order of the entities in the logical message tree;
• and
• a serializer that serializes the sorted list of entities into a data stream, and transmits a list of subgroup numbers and the entities in the sorted order over a network to the client, wherein the list of subgroup numbers is based on the subgroup number assignments.

A machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions that when executed by one or more processors is adapted to cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining, at a server, a list of entities responsive to a request from a client, each entity in the list including a set of attribute name-value pairs;
• recursively dividing the list of entities into subgroups based on an attribute name in the set until each entity in the corresponding subgroup has the same attribute name-value pairs;
• for each division resulting in a plurality of subgroups including one or more entities, assigning a subgroup number to each of the corresponding entity's attribute names by which the division is based, each entity in a common subgroup of the plurality of subgroups having the same subgroup number;
• generating, at a parser, a logical message tree of entities, an order of the entities in the logical message tree being based on the assigned subgroup numbers;
• sorting the list of entities based on the order of the entities in the logical message tree;
• serializing the sorted list of entities into a data stream;
• transmitting the entities in the sorted order over a network to the client;
• and
• transmitting a list of subgroup numbers to the client, the list of subgroup numbers being based on the assigning.
