Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of encoding location of a node in a hierarchy, comprising: generating, by a computer system configured with executable instructions, an encoding for each node on a path from a root node on the path to a destination node on the path based at least in part on an encoding scheme that does not utilize a name of each node on the path to encode each node, the encoding scheme based at least in part on a type of each node and a position of each node, but not the name of each node, the position of each node on the path identifying an order for each node among other nodes of a same hierarchical level, the generated encoding for each node including a single American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) character to represent each node on the path; and generating an encoded location path for the destination node at least by combining the single ASCII character of each node on the path from the root node to the destination node to form a set of ASCII characters as the encoded location path, the set of ASCII characters comprising the single ASCII character of each node on the path.
