Some properties and methods are common to both NodeObject and LocalNodeObject although these two objects do not share a prototype chain.
In all cases where the value can differ because of the global or local context, the correct value is returned for that context. For example, when calling GetChildren() on a NodeObject, the resulting Array will contain NodeObjects. When making the same call on a LocalNodeObject, the resulting Array will contain LocalNodeObjects.

Table 23. Common Methods for NodeObject and LocalNodeObject
Name | Description |
|---|---|
GetChildren(sorted) | Gets an Array of the direct children of this node, optionally in sorted order. Default for sorted is False. |
GetDescendants(inclusive, sorted) | Gets an Array of the descendants of this node, optionally including this node and/or in sorted order. Default for inclusive is True. Default for sorted is False. |
NodeByAbbrev(abbrev) | Gets a NodeObject by name |
NodeByID(id) | Gets a NodeObject by ID |
NodeExists(abbrev) | Returns True if a global node with the given name exists |
Prop(abbrev) | Gets the NodePropObject for the given property of the version |
PropValue(abbrev) | Gets the value of the given property of the version. The return type depends on the data type of the property definition. |
