• public Array dup_array ()
  Retrieves the Array stored inside a Node and returns it with its reference count increased by one.
• public Object dup_object ()
  Retrieves the Object inside node. The reference count of the returned object is increased.
• public string dup_string ()
  Gets a copy of the string value stored inside a Node
• public void free ()
  Frees the resources allocated by node.
• public unowned Array get_array ()
  Retrieves the Array stored inside a Node
• public bool get_boolean ()
  Gets the boolean value stored inside a Node
• public double get_double ()
  Gets the double value stored inside a Node
• public int64 get_int ()
  Gets the integer value stored inside a Node
• public NodeType get_node_type ()
  Retrieves the NodeType of node
• public unowned Object get_object ()
  Retrieves the Object stored inside a Node
• public unowned Node get_parent ()
  Retrieves the parent Node of node.
• public unowned string get_string ()
  Gets the string value stored inside a Node
• public Value get_value ()
  Retrieves a value from a Node and copies into value . When done using it, call unset on the Value.
• public Type get_value_type ()
  Returns the Type of the payload of the node.
• public bool is_null ()
  Checks whether node is a NULL
• public void set_array (Array array)
  Sets array inside node and increases the Array reference count
• public void set_boolean (bool value)
  Sets value as the boolean content of the node, replacing any existing content.
• public void set_double (double value)
  Sets value as the double content of the node, replacing any existing content.
• public void set_int (int64 value)
  Sets value as the integer content of the node, replacing any existing content.
• public void set_object (Object object)
  Sets objects inside node. The reference count of object is increased.
• public void set_parent (Node parent)
  Sets the parent Node of node
• public void set_string (string value)
  Sets value as the string content of the node, replacing any existing content.
• public void set_value (Value value)
  Sets value inside node. The passed Value is copied into the Node
• public void take_array (owned Array array)
  Sets array into node without increasing the Array reference count.
• public void take_object (owned Object object)
  Sets object inside node. The reference count of object is not increased.
• public unowned string type_name ()
