  <longdescription lang="en">Each KVTree object contains a list of key/value pairs. Each key is a string, each value is another kvtree object. This is a nested data structures, similar to a python dict or perl hash. The library provides functions to serialize a kvtree object to / from a file. It also optionally provides MPI send / recv functions to transfer an object from one process to another.
In addition to getter and setter utilities, this library provides serialization (for persisting an KVTree to a file) and optional MPI functionality.
