A Laravel Eloquent package implementing the nested set model for storing and querying hierarchical data like trees in relational databases. It provides relationships and operations for inserting, moving, retrieving, and deleting tree nodes.

Use cases

• build multi-depth menus in laravel
• store product categories with nested hierarchy
• manage tree structures in a relational database
• query ancestors and descendants of a node
• implement hierarchical comments or org charts

When to choose

• your Laravel app needs hierarchical data that is read frequently but updated rarely
• you want eager-loadable parent/children/ancestors/descendants relationships
• you need fast subtree and depth queries in SQL

When to avoid

• your tree is updated very frequently, since nested set updates require expensive renumbering
• you are not using Laravel or Eloquent
• you only need simple one-level parent-child relations where adjacency lists suffice
