Flat Trees are the core data structure that power Hypercore feeds. They allow
|
|
|
|
us to deterministically represent a tree structure as a vector. This is
|
|
|
|
particularly useful because vectors map elegantly to disk and memory.

|
Because Flat Trees are deterministic and pre-computed, there is no overhead to
|
|
|
|
using them. In effect this means that Flat Trees are a specific way of indexing
|
|
|
|
into a vector more than they are their own data structure. This makes them
|
|
|
|
uniquely efficient and convenient to implement in a wide range of languages.
