111<div class="block">Base class for all JSON nodes, which form the basis of JSON
112 Tree Model that Jackson implements.
113 One way to think of these nodes is to consider them
114 similar to DOM nodes in XML DOM trees.
115<p>
116 As a general design rule, most accessors ("getters") are included
117 in this base class, to allow for traversing structure without
118 type casts. Most mutators, however, need to be accessed through
119 specific sub-classes (such as <code>ObjectNode</code>
120 and <code>ArrayNode</code>).
121 This seems sensible because proper type
122 information is generally available when building or modifying
123 trees, but less often when reading a tree (newly built from
124 parsed JSON content).
125<p>
