Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for facilitating efficient replication of hierarchical structures. In the regard, the number of nodes within a hierarchical structure to replicate is minimized such that the hierarchical structure is more efficiently replicated. Generally, to determine which nodes to replicate, node identifiers, such as hash values, that represent the content of the corresponding nodes can be utilized. In this manner, upon edits being made to content within a hierarchical structure, node identifiers can be updated to reflect the edited content. When a replication operation is initiated, the node identifiers for the current content existing on one computing device can be compared to the node identifiers associated with the previously replicated content on another computing device. The particular nodes to replicate can be based on any discrepancies between the corresponding node identifiers.
