Abstract
Systems and methods for using a scalable collection within a balanced tree data structure are provided herein. In particular, techniques for generating scalable collections and using scalable collections for fetching data corresponding to an application using balanced chunked data tree structures are provided herein. In an example, the method may include determining a document defined by a balanced tree data structure having a root chunk, reference chunks, and chunks each having nodes each corresponding to a document attribute. The nodes may include a scalable collection containing a list node and child nodes associated with the list node, and a placeholder node that provides a reference to another chunk based on a position of the placeholder node within a respective chunk. The method may also include navigating to content within the document based on the balanced tree data structure.
