I'd probably just use a serialized JSON or XML object in that case, if it is truly a tree (and not a graph).

The present round of android tablets have 512MB - 1 GB Ram...which is likely to increase in the future... Essentially I want to use a graph database to represent a complicated math document to be shown a mobile / tablet. Each equation is nothing but a tree so graph databases lend themselves well to the problem. The other option is to use an embedded object database like db4o which runs on android and implement a custom tree structure within it... or mobile couchbase (available for android and ios). Any better ideas?
