## Utilities for navigating flat trees

```bash
$ pip install flat-tree
```

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.
