<P>
This singleton node class is generated to denote "missing nodes"
 along paths that do not exist. For example, if a path via
 element of an array is requested for an element outside range
 of elements in the array; or for a non-array value, result
 will be reference to this node.
<p>
 In most respects this placeholder node will act as <A HREF="../../../../../com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/node/NullNode.html" title="class in com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node"><CODE>NullNode</CODE></A>;
 for example, for purposes of value conversions, value is considered
 to be null and represented as value zero when used for numeric
 conversions.
