ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the invention provide a framework for computer application to utilize data structures by loading externally-defined container data structures, and building in-memory representation of data structures at runtime. Contrary to existing applications, computer applications implementing the invention may utilize data structures for which the architecture is not embedded within the application code. Embodiments of the invention provide mechanisms by which applications (or components thereof) implementing the invention may access and modify data structures and their individual elements.
