<P>
Base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of JSON
 Tree Model that Jackson implements.
 One way to think of these nodes is to consider them
 similar to DOM nodes in XML DOM trees.
<p>
 As a general design rule, most accessors ("getters") are included
 in this base class, to allow for traversing structure without
 type casts. Most mutators, however, need to be accessed through
 specific sub-classes (such as <code>ObjectNode</code>
 and <code>ArrayNode</code>).
 This seems sensible because proper type
 information is generally available when building or modifying
 trees, but less often when reading a tree (newly built from
 parsed JSON content).
<p>
 Actual concrete sub-classes can be found from package
 <A HREF="../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/node/package-summary.html"><CODE>com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node</CODE></A>.

<DL>
<DD>Method for accessing value of the specified element of
 an array node. For other nodes, null is always returned.
<p>
 For array nodes, index specifies
 exact location within array and allows for efficient iteration
 over child elements (underlying storage is guaranteed to
 be efficiently indexable, i.e. has random-access to elements).
 If index is less than 0, or equal-or-greater than
 <code>node.size()</code>, null is returned; no exception is
 thrown for any index.
<p>
 NOTE: if the element value has been explicitly set as <code>null</code>
 (which is different from removal!),
