Description
VirtualStorageLibrary is a .NET library that operates entirely in memory, providing a tree-structured collection for managing hierarchical data structures. It supports items, directories, and symbolic links, allowing for intuitive referencing, traversal, and manipulation of nodes through specified paths. Unlike traditional file systems, this library is designed to be flexible and user-friendly, making it easier to manage complex data relationships.
How to use VirtualStorageLibrary?
To use the VirtualStorageLibrary, first initialize the library settings. Then, create an instance of the VirtualStorage class and define your user-defined classes. You can add directories and items to the virtual storage, retrieve items using their paths, and manipulate the data as needed.
Core features of VirtualStorageLibrary:
1️⃣
Flexible Tree Structure: Supports hierarchical organization based on parent-child relationships.
2️⃣
Support for Various Nodes: Manages items, directories, and symbolic links, including user-defined types.
3️⃣
Intuitive Node Operations via Paths: Offers an API for referencing, searching, adding, deleting, renaming, copying, and moving nodes using paths.
4️⃣
Link Management: Tracks target path changes for symbolic links with a dedicated link dictionary.
5️⃣
Circular Reference Prevention: Throws exceptions when circular references are detected in paths involving symbolic links.
