In computing science and informatics, the word nesting may denote several different constructions and activities where information is organized in layers or objects contain other similar objects. The rather general term is thus used in quite specific ways for various situations and concepts depending on context, which is sometimes only remotely related. However, it almost always refers to self-similar or recursive structures in some sense.
