Using self-maintaining structure information for faster data access

A system comprising:

• at least one programmable processor;
• and
• a non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one programmable processor, cause the at least one programmable processor to perform operations comprising:
• generating a schema representing a structure of an object in a plurality of objects stored in a storage location, each object in the plurality of objects including one or more data elements, each schema identifying one or more data elements of the object, an offset location of each data element of the object, and a value of each data element of the object;
• receiving a query requesting access to one or more data elements of the object in the plurality of objects;
• identifying a generated schema in a plurality of generated schemas representing the queried object;
• accessing, using the identified generated schema, the one or more data elements;
• and
• retrieving the one or more data elements.
