  - ### Method Detail

    - #### _at

          protected JsonNode _at(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonPointer ptr)

      Specified by:
        `_at` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### deepCopy

          public ArrayNode deepCopy()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method that can be called to get a node that is guaranteed not to allow changing of this node through mutators on this node or any of its children. This means it can either make a copy of this node (and all mutable children and grand children nodes), or node itself if it is immutable.

      Note: return type is guaranteed to have same type as the node method is called on; which is why method is declared with local generic type.

      Specified by:
        `deepCopy` in class `JsonNode`
      Returns:
        Node that is either a copy of this node (and all non-leaf children); or, for immutable leaf nodes, node itself.

    - #### isEmpty

          public boolean isEmpty(SerializerProvider serializers)

      Description copied from class: `JsonSerializable.Base`
      Method that may be called on instance to determine if it is considered "empty" for purposes of serialization filtering or not.
      Overrides:
        `isEmpty` in class `JsonSerializable.Base`

    - #### 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 `ContainerNode<ArrayNode>`

    - #### size

          public int size()

      Specified by:
        `size` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:

    - #### elements

          public java.util.Iterator<JsonNode> elements()

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method for accessing all value nodes of this Node, iff this node is a JSON Array or Object node. In case of Object node, field names (keys) are not included, only values. For other types of nodes, returns empty iterator.
      Overrides:
        `elements` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### get

          public JsonNode get(int index)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method for accessing value of the specified element of an array node. For other nodes, null is always returned.

      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 `node.size()`, null is returned; no exception is thrown for any index.

      NOTE: if the element value has been explicitly set as `null` (which is different from removal!), a `NullNode` will be returned, not null.

      Specified by:
        `get` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `get` in class `ContainerNode<ArrayNode>`
      Returns:
        Node that represent value of the specified element, if this node is an array and has specified element. Null otherwise.

    - #### get

          public JsonNode get(java.lang.String fieldName)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Method for accessing value of the specified field of an object node. If this node is not an object (or it does not have a value for specified field name), or if there is no field with such name, null is returned.

      NOTE: if the property value has been explicitly set as `null` (which is different from removal!), a `NullNode` will be returned, not null.

      Specified by:
        `get` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `get` in class `ContainerNode<ArrayNode>`
      Returns:
        Node that represent value of the specified field, if this node is an object and has value for the specified field. Null otherwise.

    - #### path

          public JsonNode path(java.lang.String fieldName)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      This method is similar to `JsonNode.get(String)`, except that instead of returning null if no such value exists (due to this node not being an object, or object not having value for the specified field), a "missing node" (node that returns true for `JsonNode.isMissingNode()`) will be returned. This allows for convenient and safe chained access via path calls.
      Specified by:
        `path` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `path` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### path

          public JsonNode path(int index)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      This method is similar to `JsonNode.get(int)`, except that instead of returning null if no such element exists (due to index being out of range, or this node not being an array), a "missing node" (node that returns true for `JsonNode.isMissingNode()`) will be returned. This allows for convenient and safe chained access via path calls.
      Specified by:
        `path` in interface `com.fasterxml.jackson.core.TreeNode`
      Specified by:
        `path` in class `JsonNode`

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(java.util.Comparator<JsonNode> comparator,
                       JsonNode o)

      Description copied from class: `JsonNode`
      Entry method for invoking customizable comparison, using passed-in `Comparator` object. Nodes will handle traversal of structured types (arrays, objects), but defer to comparator for scalar value comparisons. If a "natural" `Comparator` is passed -- one that simply calls `equals()` on one of arguments, passing the other -- implementation is the same as directly calling `equals()` on node.

      Default implementation simply delegates to passed in `comparator`, with `this` as the first argument, and `other` as the second argument.

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `JsonNode`
      Parameters:
        `comparator` - Object called to compare two scalar `JsonNode` instances, and return either 0 (are equals) or non-zero (not equal)

    - #### serialize

          public void serialize(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator f,

    - #### serializeWithType

          public void serializeWithType(com.fasterxml.jackson.core.JsonGenerator jg,
                               SerializerProvider provider,
                               TypeSerializer typeSer)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

      Description copied from class: `BaseJsonNode`
      Type information is needed, even if JsonNode instances are "plain" JSON, since they may be mixed with other types.

        `serializeWithType` in interface `JsonSerializable`
      Specified by:
        `serializeWithType` in class `BaseJsonNode`

    - #### 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`

    - #### _childrenEqual

          protected boolean _childrenEqual(ArrayNode 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.

      Specified by:
        `toString` in class `JsonNode`
