Abstract
A computer-implemented method to access a tree data structure in a computing environment is provided. The method includes generating a tree data structure in a computing environment, wherein the tree data structure includes nodes and links to link the nodes, wherein each node includes fields for various data types, accessing contents of the tree data structure with a single command in a computing environment. The single command references at least one specified node of the tree data structure, wherein the single command is based on at least one of: a command to access contents of the tree data structure for all nodes associated with the specified node, a command to access contents of the tree data structure for all nodes in a subtree of the at least one specified node, and a command to access at least a subset of contents of the tree data structure for all nodes in a subtree of the at least one specified node, and providing in the computing environment the contents of the tree data structure based on the single command.
