public ObjectNode(JsonNodeFactory nc)
```
- Method Detail
  - asToken
```
public 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 class ContainerNode
  - isObject
```
public boolean isObject()
```
    Overrides:
    
    isObject in class JsonNode
    
    Returns:
    
    True if this node represents Json Object
  - size
```
public int size()
```
    Description copied from class: JsonNode
    
    Method that returns number of child nodes this node contains: for Array nodes, number of child elements, for Object nodes, number of fields, and for all other nodes 0.
    
    Specified by:
    
    size in class ContainerNode
    
    Returns:
    
    For non-container nodes returns 0; for arrays number of contained elements, and for objects number of fields.
  - getElements
```
public Iterator<JsonNode> getElements()
```
    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:
    
    getElements 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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in class ContainerNode
    
    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(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.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in class ContainerNode
    
    Returns:
    
    Node that represent value of the specified field, if this node is an object and has value for the specified field. Null otherwise.

    Method for accessing names of all fields for this Node, iff this node is a JSON Object node.
    
    Overrides:
    
    getFieldNames 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 class JsonNode
  - path
```
public JsonNode path(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 class JsonNode
  - getFields
```
public Iterator<Map.Entry<String,JsonNode>> getFields()

  - with
```
public ObjectNode with(String propertyName)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonNode
    
    Method that can be called on object nodes, to access a property that has object value; or if no such property exists, to create and return such object node. If node method is called on is not Object node, or if property exists and has value that is not object node, UnsupportedOperationException is thrown
    
    Overrides:
    
    with in class JsonNode
  - findValue
```
public JsonNode findValue(String fieldName)
```
    Description copied from class: JsonNode
