  2. reStructuredText - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReStructuredText

    reStructuredText (RST, ReST, or reST) is a file format for textual data used primarily in the Python programming language community for technical documentation.. It is part of the Docutils project of the Python Doc-SIG (Documentation Special Interest Group), aimed at creating a set of tools for Python similar to Javadoc for Java or Plain Old Documentation (POD) for Perl.

  3. Associative array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Associative_array

    The basic idea behind a hash table is that accessing an element of an array via its index is a simple, constant-time operation. Therefore, the average overhead of an operation for a hash table is only the computation of the key's hash, combined with accessing the corresponding bucket within the array.

  4. Hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hash_table

    In a well-dimensioned hash table, the average time complexity for each lookup is independent of the number of elements stored in the table. Many hash table designs also allow arbitrary insertions and deletions of key–value pairs, at amortized constant average cost per operation. [3] [4] [5] Hashing is an example of a space-time tradeoff.

  6. CBOR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBOR

    Concise Binary Object Representation (CBOR) is a binary data serialization format loosely based on JSON authored by Carsten Bormann and Paul Hoffman. [a] Like JSON it allows the transmission of data objects that contain name–value pairs, but in a more concise manner.

  7. JSON - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON

    JSON (JavaScript Object Notation, pronounced / ˈ dʒ eɪ s ən / or / ˈ dʒ eɪ ˌ s ɒ n /) is an open standard file format and data interchange format that uses human-readable text to store and transmit data objects consisting of name–value pairs and arrays (or other serializable values).

  8. Distributed hash table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

    Distributed hash tables use a more structured key-based routing in order to attain both the decentralization of Freenet and Gnutella, and the efficiency and guaranteed results of Napster. One drawback is that, like Freenet, DHTs only directly support exact-match search, rather than keyword search, although Freenet's routing algorithm can be ...

  9. Cryptographic hash function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function

    The file system's directory stores these addresses and a pointer to the physical storage of the content. Because an attempt to store the same file will generate the same key, CAS systems ensure that the files within them are unique, and because changing the file will result in a new key, CAS systems provide assurance that the file is unchanged.
