Some additional features include: * Versioning: noms is git-like, so it’s easy to use, compare, or revert to older database versions - * Efficient diffs: diffing even huge datasets is efficient due to noms’ use of a novel BTree-like data structure called a [Prolly Tree](../intro.md#prolly-trees-probabilistic-b-trees) - * Efficient storage: data are chunked and content-addressable, so there is exactly one copy of each chunk in the database, shared by other data that reference it. Small changes to massive data structures always result in small operations. - * Verifiable: The entire database rolls up to a single 20-byte hash that uniquely represents the database at that moment - anyone can verify that a particular database hashes to the same value
