Hierarchical field sort with string interning
Read OriginalThis article details a programming technique for processing heterogeneous records with hierarchical, period-delimited field names (e.g., point.x, foo.bar.z). It presents a C implementation using string interning to assign unique tokens, enabling a sort that groups nested structures contiguously for outputs like JSON while preserving the original field order as much as possible.
