13 /**
14  * Base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of JSON
15  * Tree Model that Jackson implements.
16  * One way to think of these nodes is to consider them
17  * similar to DOM nodes in XML DOM trees.
18  *<p>
19  * As a general design rule, most accessors ("getters") are included
20  * in this base class, to allow for traversing structure without
21  * type casts. Most mutators, however, need to be accessed through
22  * specific sub-classes (such as <code>ObjectNode</code>
23  * and <code>ArrayNode</code>).
24  * This seems sensible because proper type
25  * information is generally available when building or modifying
26  * trees, but less often when reading a tree (newly built from
27  * parsed JSON content).
28  *<p>
29  * Actual concrete sub-classes can be found from package
30  * {@link com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.node}.
31  *<p>
32  * Note that it is possible to "read" from nodes, using
33  * method {@link TreeNode#traverse(ObjectCodec)}, which will result in
34  * a {@link JsonParser} being constructed. This can be used for (relatively)
35  * efficient conversations between different representations; and it is what
36  * core databind uses for methods like {@link ObjectMapper#treeToValue(TreeNode, Class)}
37  * and {@link ObjectMapper#treeAsTokens(TreeNode)}
