The new Uize.Node.Tree module provides convenience methods for generating a tree data object by analyzing HTML on a page.

A tree data object is an array, where each element of the array is a tree item. Because a Tree Item may itself contain a child Tree Data Object, specified by its items property, a Tree Data Object can be used to represent an arbitrarily complex, hierarchical structure for information. A Tree Data Object can be used in any number of ways, but is commonly used for building tree-based user interface elements such as contents lists, structured dropdown menus, etc. A number of widget class support data in the tree data object format, such as the Uize.Widget.Tree.List, Uize.Widget.Tree.Menu, and Uize.Widget.Tree.Select classes. Outside of widgets, tree data objects can be used to drive the generation of HTML, in build scripts or Web applications, using JavaScript Templates.
