I'm looking for some examples of tree structures that are used in commercial/free software projects, modern or old. I can see examples on wikipedia, but I am looking for more concrete examples and how they're used. For example primary keys in databases are (from what I've read) stored in BST structure or a variation of the BST (feel free to correct me on this)

My question isn't limited Binary Search Trees (BSTs), it can include any variation such as red-black, AVL and so on.

JQGrid tree - passing additional parameters when tree is expanded

How can I pass more parameters that I will take from the row being expanded? E.g. data from Name column should be passed… >>> More

Are there any B-tree programs or sites that show visually how a B-tree works

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
I found this website that lets you insert and delete items from a B-tree and shows you visually what the B-tree looks like: java b-tree I'm looking for another website or program similar to this. This site does not allow you to specify a B-tree of order 4 (4 pointers and 3 elements), it only lets… >>> More
