The treeState object contains key:value pairs, where key is the id of a tree item and value is its state. The state object of a tree item includes two properties:

selected	(number) the status of a checkbox of an item: 0 - unselected 1 - selected 2 - indeterminate (for the parent item, in case its children are partially checked)
open	(boolean) checks whether a tree item is open (for folders with items)

Here is an example of a treeState object:

{
    "books": {
        "open": true,
        "selected": 2
    },

    "mystery": {
        "open": true,
        "selected": 2
    },

    "thrillers": {
        "selected": 1
    },

    "rc": {
        "selected": 0
    },

    "ir": {
        "selected": 1
    },

    "history": {
        "selected": 0
    },

    "jmf": {
        "selected": 0
    },

    "jd": {
        "selected": 0
    }
}
