A data management system (100) and method for storing and communicating different types of data allowing variable lengths and hierarchical nesting of data records. Hierarchical structure is implicitly defined by relationships of the lengths fields of data records. The system (100) and method use data-containing records to store data and container records to contain other records in order to define the hierarchical structure and thereby greatly facilitate the movement and management of the stored data (107). |
