| Function | Parameters | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| jsonPath("jsonPathString") | String (JSONPath string) | Array of JavascriptJsonNode class objects | Use to filter and return nodes using JSONPath querries |
| appendObject(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new Object node (*b) |
| appendArray(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new Array node (*b) |
| appendString(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new String node (*b) |
| appendNumber(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new Number node (*b) |
| appendBoolean(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new Boolean node (*b) |
| appendNull(keyName) | keyName:String (*a) | newly created JsonNode class object | appends new Null node (*b) |
| delete() | none | none | deletes node (*c) |
| select() | none | none | upon operation finishes, node will be selected in UI |
| debugInfo() | none | key + value formatted string | prints basic information about node |
(*a) you must specify a key for newly appended node in every instance even while appending to Arrays.

##Smart Nodes
When inserting into smart nodes, new node will be appended into all shared instances this procedure is handled behind your javascript code.
