+<p>Before going further, make sure you have read the basic conventions
+about tree-sitter nodes in the previous node.
+</p>
+<span id="Basic-information"></span><h3 class="heading">Basic information</h3>
+
+<p>Every node is associated with a parser, and that parser is associated
+with a buffer. The following functions let you retrieve them.

+
+<span id="Property-information"></span><h3 class="heading">Property information</h3>
+
+<p>In general, nodes in a concrete syntax tree fall into two categories:
+<em>named nodes</em> and <em>anonymous nodes</em>. Whether a node is named
+or anonymous is determined by the language definition
+(see <a href="Language-Definitions.html#tree_002dsitter-named-node">named node</a>).
+</p>
+<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-missing-node"></span>
+<p>Apart from being named/anonymous, a node can have other properties. A
+node can be &ldquo;missing&rdquo;: missing nodes are inserted by the parser in
+order to recover from certain kinds of syntax errors, i.e., something
+should probably be there according to the grammar, but not there.
+</p>
+<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-extra-node"></span>
+<p>A node can be &ldquo;extra&rdquo;: extra nodes represent things like comments,
+which can appear anywhere in the text.
+</p>
+<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-node-that-has-changes"></span>
+<p>A node &ldquo;has changes&rdquo; if the buffer changed since when the node is
+retrieved, i.e., outdated.
+</p>
+<span id="index-tree_002dsitter-node-that-has-error"></span>
+<p>A node &ldquo;has error&rdquo; if the text it spans contains a syntax error. It
+can be the node itself has an error, or one of its
+children/grandchildren... has an error.

+<dd><p>Named nodes have &ldquo;types&rdquo; (see <a href="Language-Definitions.html#tree_002dsitter-node-type">node type</a>).
+For example, a named node can be a <code>string_literal</code> node, where
+<code>string_literal</code> is its type.
