The attributes of a node can be pre-assigned before creation using the DAPI.AllocNode and DAPI.CreateNode functions. The attributes of a node stored in the database are retrieved with the oft-used DAPI.GetNodeByID function. Note that all nodes have unique IDs.

The DAPI package provides automatic security checking when certain operations are performed on a node retrieved by a user. For example, an
error occurs when a user tries to delete a node that does not have delete permissions.
