* A node in the syntax tree for a HOCON or JSON document.

* Note: at present there is no way to obtain an instance of this interface, so
* please ignore it. A future release will make syntax tree nodes available in
* the public API. If you are interested in working on it, please see: <a

* <p>
* Because this object is immutable, it is safe to use from multiple threads and
* there's no need for "defensive copies."
*
* <p>
* <em>Do not implement interface {@code ConfigNode}</em>; it should only be
* implemented by the config library. Arbitrary implementations will not work
* because the library internals assume a specific concrete implementation.
* Also, this interface is likely to grow new methods over time, so third-party
* implementations will break.
