jQuery Nested sets and PHP

Question

I'm searching for some ready-made solution for working with nested sets with PHP and jQuery.

I know about nested sets and I know how to work with PHP and jQuery but I want to save my time using ready-made solution.

What is the best solution?

How nested sets (and the way data stored in database) are related to client-side? — zerkms, May 04 '12 at 07:54
I want to use ajax for changing tree or for adding new elements. — Mirgorod, May 04 '12 at 07:57
Unfortunately, your question doesn't make much sense, and its scope is too broad. Please explain what you have tried, or post some code. — Nadh, May 04 '12 at 08:00

a solution to handle nested sets (or any other data structure) would be json_encode/json_decode

Send data from PHP to JavaScript:

$data = new PHPComplexData();
echo json_encode($data);

Receive data in client side:

$.get('data.php', function(data){
    var jsData = eval('('+data+')');
    //You have a JavaScript object
});

Send data from JavaScript to PHP

var jsData = new JSComplexData();
$.post('data.php', {data:$.toJSON(jsData)});

Receive data in server side

$data = json_decode($_POST['data']);

you need jquery-json plugin to use $.toJSON function

Your question is quite hard to understand, but if I'm reading you right, you're looking for some kind of jQuery treeview control?
