Abstract
One embodiment provides a method for efficient representation, access and modification of variable length data objects including converting, by a processor, all object updates into appends. The processor divides each object update into bounded size tokens. The tokens are stored normalized as an anchor and a linked list of fragments, the anchor having a pointer to a linked list of fragments. A fragment comprises a contiguous list of tokens that correspond to the appends.
