This toolkit allows for the user to build what I'm calling a "TreeMap" data structure in memory. This is a recursive tree with attributes. Duplicate node paths are not allowed. The user must declare a delimiter, which is not allowed to appear in node paths.

A TreeMap can be easily converted and dumped into a LabVIEW tree control. This is the primary use-case for this library.

A TreeMap is an on-wire, by-value data structure. As such, you can safely branch the wire to create a new, unlinked copy. You can also safely flatten and unflatten the structure to a serial string.

A TreeMap is a recursive data structure. Recursiveness is accomplished through use of LabVIEW variants. This has performance implications, but is uniquely powerful in what it can accomplish.
