Working with hierarchical tree data in Storage, Messaging, and KMS APIs

The guide provides an in-depth exploration of managing hierarchical tree data structures within various APIs, including File Storage, Messaging, and Key Management System (KMS) APIs, which support parent-child relationships. It highlights how these APIs often organize data in tree-like structures, where entities such as folders, files, channels, messages, and tasks are interconnected through these relationships. The document outlines methods for efficiently traversing these structures, including retrieving parent nodes and recursively fetching their children using parent IDs, with specific examples given for Discord and file storage systems. Additionally, it offers best practices such as implementing pagination to handle large datasets, managing API rate limits, and caching parent IDs for repeated traversals. Special attention is given to integration challenges with platforms like SharePoint, emphasizing its unique three-level hierarchy and limitations in write operations and pagination.
