Abstract
To facilitate automatic code generation for Java and JavaScript applications executed over the Internet, complex nested data structures resulting from non-unique naming of data fields are flattened. Fully-qualified names for each data field are created. The fully-qualified names include the names of all nodes within a nesting path for a given data field. Where fully-qualified names become overly cumbersome, aliases may be utilized and mapped to the fully-qualified names within a correlation table. The object hierarchy for an application is thus simplified.
