unnested
Removed from hierarchy
Unnested describes something that has been removed from a nested structure—taken out of containment within something else.
In programming, unnested code or data has been flattened or extracted from hierarchical layers: The unnested array is easier to iterate through.
The term applies anywhere items sit inside other items: unnested boxes, unnested folders.
