Name Type Value Storage (&ldquo;NTV&rdquo;) provides a very flexible technique for storing data for use in the Internet and in World Wide Web based applications. NTV provides a list of values or names, referred to as triplets, that is used to identify a correspondence. In the triplet, NTV provides both an identifier and a name of a type, where a type can be one of several things, e.g. a type can be an integer, a floating point number, a string, an array of any of those values, or an another NTV object. A third part of the triplet is the actual value itself, which is stored in its native type.
