Tree Library

In order to store columnar datasets, ROOT provides the TTree, TChain, TNtuple and TNtupleD classes.

The TTree class represents a columnar dataset. Any C++ type can be stored in the columns. The TTree has allowed to store about 1 EB of data coming from the LHC alone: it is demonstrated to scale and it's battle tested. It has been optimized during the years to reduce dataset sizes on disk and to deliver excellent runtime performance. It allows to access only part of the columns of the datasets, too. The TNtuple and TNtupleD classes are specialisations of the TTree class which can only hold single precision and double precision floating-point numbers respectively; The TChain is a collection of TTrees, which can be located also in different files.

Legacy Code

TEventList is a legacy interface: there will be no bug fixes nor new developments. Therefore it is not recommended to use it in new long-term production code. But, depending on the context, using TEventList might still be a valid solution.
