Patent ID: 8631041

Claim:
A method of deserializing electronic content having a first portion and a second portion, the method comprising: selecting a first node included in a data structure, the data structure representing, in a node-and-link representation, the first portion of electronic content, the data structure including a first external link being associated with the first node, the first external link referencing a first serialization, the first serialization representing the second portion of electronic content in a representation differing from the node-and-link representation of the data structure; and augmenting the data structure using the first serialization comprising: constructing a set of new nodes, the set of new nodes including a plurality of nodes constructible from the first serialization; selecting a target node from among the set of new nodes; inserting the target node into the data structure; and inserting a first inter-node link into the data structure, the first inter-node link connecting the first node and the target node, the first inter-node link corresponding to the first external link.
