An object hierarchy corresponds with a serialized file. The object hierarchy is generated from the serialized file by a generation tool. Non-root objects are attributed with an entity type, namespace, name, and link to their parent object. When an object changes, serialization layer code builds an XPath and produces a partial serialization for local and/or remote users while avoiding the overhead of re-serializing the entire changed hierarchy. The updated serialization may be granular or may include the entire hierarchy. Two users may authorize chronologically overlapping changes to different objects with neither user locking out the other user. Each user receives a respective corresponding updated serialization (granular or non-granular) of the object hierarchy without causing a full re-serialization overhead. A modified object is mapped to an XPath-compatible location in a serialization of the hierarchy. Relationships between individual objects and their properties, and between objects, are maintained when creating the serialization.
