Choose right naming for entities

Problematic

Now I don't know which terms more usefull: tree or hierarchical, leaves or items or entity, folders or something else. So, I need to research for choosing right terms.

What should be done

• [x] Select a term for picker (tree, hierarchical)
• [x] Select a term for leaves
• [x] Select a term for folders with leaves together
• [x] Select a term for selection methods (leaves only, leaves and folders, leaves and folders with children autoselecting)

Examples:

• Hierarchical Picker Control
• Multiselect picker for hierarchical data
• Checkbox Tree
• tree view / tree grid
• Checkbox Tree
• CheckTreePicker
• TreePicker (with single selection)
• hierarchical Picker but in meaning "second picker options depend on first picker choice"!
• UIPickerView hierarchy levels but in meaning "second picker options depend on first picker choice"!
• hierarchical select, selector with tree like data structure
• Tree Picker
• Hierarchical (or tree) selector
• TreePicker
• TreePicker kinda not the same and single selection only.

Tree picker is more common option than hierarchical picker. Checkbox tree use for multi picker only.

More about tree data structure: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(data_structure). Right terms for folder and leaf is inner node and leaf node (together just nodes).

So I will use next terms:

• TreePicker for library.
• TreeSinglePicker, TreeOptionalPicker and TreeMultiPicker for pickers struct names.
• Leaf nodes and nodes (independent and cascading) for selecting methods.
