US Patent 11663245 Initial loading of partial deferred object model

Partial initial construction of a deferred object model. This is done using a map that correlates positions of a hierarchically structured definition and corresponding hierarchical positions within an object model. The map is accessed and used to initially construct a deferred object model that even leaves some of the deferred objects unpopulated. The map is used to determine which parts of the hierarchical object definition no longer need to be parsed in order to construct this initial form of the deferred object model. If a request for an object is detected at some point after the initial construction, and that requested object is not represented even in deferred form in the deferred object model, the system uses the map to find the position of the corresponding object definition in the hierarchical object definition. At that point, the system parses that position, and constructs the object.
