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. .. _documentation: Documentation ************* * `flat-tree.readthedocs.io`_ .. _flat-tree.readthedocs.io: https://flat-tree.readthedocs.io
