"textContent": "Modern database and filesystems make pervasive use of \nB-trees, which are tree structures optimized for storing sorted lists of keys and values on block devices. \nDolt is an Apache 2.0-licensed project that makes clever use of a variant of a B-tree to support efficient version control for an entire database. The data structure it uses could well be of interest to other projects.",
