# Data Hierarchy

The data hierarchy represents the structured organization of data elements within **ManiVault**, typically exposed as tree or list views in the UI. The classes below are used to store, present, and filter data hierarchy elements.

```{note}
This API is **stable** and intended for use by **core developers**. Plugin developers typically do not need to interact with it directly, as it is fully wrapped by the {cpp:class}`mv::AbstractDataHierarchyManager`.
