Lazy loading tree with Force.com

I was trying to find something new to work, but nothing was making me eager to do that thing, and then I found out Jeff Douglas post of Original Post
Its an awesome post like he post every time, then I tried that thing in my personal salesforce org, and within few minutes I can see that tree in my org.

He's is using Jstree, its a jquery plugin, that provides interactive trees.
To know more about JsTree www.jstree.com

So that was so simple, and too much awesome, I would love to thank Jeff for doing such great things.
What he's exactly doing is to load an Objects tree, using Jquery, jsTree and Rest Javascript and using Lazy Loading.
There is a component that he created and called that component on the page.

Here how the tree looks

Here is the Steps need to perform

1. Create an Object named Parent Object.
2. Add a parallel look-up to the Parent Object of its own. Name the field "Parent Object".
3. Create a component named as "lazyLoadingTree". paste this code LazyLoadingTree
4. Create a Visualforce Page, name it ParentObject, paste this code ParentObject

5. Here is the Static Resource that you need to create, this is called from the Component that we created earlier, you cannot save your component without this restJavascript

Cheers..!!!
Happy Coding :)
