    Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `protected boolean` | `_pojoEquals(POJONode other)`
    `boolean` | `asBoolean(boolean defaultValue)` Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java boolean.
    `double` | `asDouble(double defaultValue)` Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java double.
    `int` | `asInt(int defaultValue)` Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java int.
    `long` | `asLong(long defaultValue)` Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java long.
    `java.lang.String` | `asText()` Method that will return a valid String representation of the container value, if the node is a value node (method `JsonNode.isValueNode()` returns true), otherwise empty String.
    `java.lang.String` | `asText(java.lang.String defaultValue)` Method similar to `JsonNode.asText()`, except that it will return `defaultValue` in cases where null value would be returned; either for missing nodes (trying to access missing property, or element at invalid item for array) or explicit nulls.
    `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonToken` | `asToken()` Method that can be used for efficient type detection when using stream abstraction for traversing nodes.
    `byte[]` | `binaryValue()` As it is possible that some implementations embed byte[] as POJONode (despite optimal being `BinaryNode`), let's add support for exposing binary data here too.
    `boolean` | `equals(java.lang.Object o)` Equality for node objects is defined as full (deep) value equality.
    `JsonNodeType` | `getNodeType()` Return the type of this node
    `java.lang.Object` | `getPojo()` Method that can be used to access the POJO this node wraps.
    `int` | `hashCode()`
    `void` | `serialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen, SerializerProvider serializers)` Method called to serialize node instances using given generator.
    `java.lang.String` | `toString()` Method that will produce developer-readable representation of the node; which may or may not be as valid JSON.

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### POJONode

          public POJONode(java.lang.Object v)

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getNodeType

          public JsonNodeType getNodeType()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Return the type of this node
      Specified by:
        `getNodeType` in class `JsonNode`
      Returns:
        the node type as a `JsonNodeType` enum value

    - #### asToken

          public com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonToken asToken()

      Description copied from class: `BaseJsonNode`
      Method that can be used for efficient type detection when using stream abstraction for traversing nodes. Will return the first `JsonToken` that equivalent stream event would produce (for most nodes there is just one token but for structured/container types multiple)
      Specified by:
        `asToken` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `asToken` in class `ValueNode`

    - #### binaryValue

          public byte[] binaryValue()
                             throws java.io.IOException

      As it is possible that some implementations embed byte[] as POJONode (despite optimal being `BinaryNode`), let's add support for exposing binary data here too.
      Overrides:
        `binaryValue` in class `JsonNode`
      Returns:
        Binary data this node contains, iff it is a binary node; null otherwise
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### asText

          public java.lang.String asText()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will return a valid String representation of the container value, if the node is a value node (method `JsonNode.isValueNode()` returns true), otherwise empty String.
      Specified by:
        `asText` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asText

          public java.lang.String asText(java.lang.String defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method similar to `JsonNode.asText()`, except that it will return `defaultValue` in cases where null value would be returned; either for missing nodes (trying to access missing property, or element at invalid item for array) or explicit nulls.
      Overrides:
        `asText` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asBoolean

          public boolean asBoolean(boolean defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java boolean. JSON booleans map naturally; integer numbers other than 0 map to true, and 0 maps to false and Strings 'true' and 'false' map to corresponding values.

      If representation can not be converted to a boolean value (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asBoolean` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asInt

          public int asInt(int defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java int. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0 (false) and 1 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an int (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asInt` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asLong

          public long asLong(long defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java long. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0 (false) and 1 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an long (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asLong` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### asDouble

          public double asDouble(double defaultValue)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will try to convert value of this node to a Java double. Numbers are coerced using default Java rules; booleans convert to 0.0 (false) and 1.0 (true), and Strings are parsed using default Java language integer parsing rules.

      If representation can not be converted to an int (including structured types like Objects and Arrays), specified defaultValue will be returned; no exceptions are thrown.

      Overrides:
        `asDouble` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### serialize

          public final void serialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator gen,
                       SerializerProvider serializers)
                               throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `BaseJsonNode`
      Method called to serialize node instances using given generator.
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in interface `JsonSerializable`
      Specified by:
        `serialize` in class `BaseJsonNode`
      Throws:
        `java.io.IOException`

    - #### getPojo

          public java.lang.Object getPojo()

      Method that can be used to access the POJO this node wraps.

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(java.lang.Object o)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Equality for node objects is defined as full (deep) value equality. This means that it is possible to compare complete JSON trees for equality by comparing equality of root nodes.

      Note: marked as abstract to ensure all implementation classes define it properly and not rely on definition from `Object`.

      Specified by:
        `equals` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### _pojoEquals

          protected boolean _pojoEquals(POJONode other)

      Since:
        2.3

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Specified by:
        `hashCode` in class `BaseJsonNode`

    - #### toString

          public java.lang.String toString()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that will produce developer-readable representation of the node; which may or may not be as valid JSON. If you want valid JSON output (or output formatted using one of other Jackson supported data formats) make sure to use `ObjectMapper` or `ObjectWriter` to serialize an instance, for example:

             String json = objectMapper.writeValueAsString(rootNode);

      Note: method defined as abstract to ensure all implementation classes explicitly implement method, instead of relying on `Object.toString()` definition.

      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `ValueNode`
