- Data is stored in a linked-list tree structure, preserving the XML data hierarchy.
- Supports arbitrary element names, attributes, and attribute values with no preset limits, just available memory.
- Supports integer, real, opaque (“cdata”), and text data types in “leaf” nodes.
- Functions for creating, indexing, and managing trees of data.
