JsonNode is a base class that ObjectNode and ArrayNode extend. JsonNode represents any valid Json structure whereas ObjectNode and ArrayNode are particular implementations for objects (aka maps) and arrays, respectively.
ArrayNode has specific methods for dealing with arrays such as get(index i) E.g. you cannot get an item at a specific index in a JsonNode or ObjectNode but you can in an ArrayNode.

JsonNode and ObjectNode are both classes in the Jackson library used for working with JSON data in Java.
JsonNode is an abstract class that represents a node in a JSON tree. It can be used to read and navigate through JSON data, but it doesn't allow modifications to the underlying data. Because it's abstract, you can't create a JsonNode object directly. Instead, you can use one of its concrete subclasses, such as ObjectNode, ArrayNode, or ValueNode.
ObjectNode is a subclass of JsonNode that specifically represents a JSON object. It allows you to modify the underlying JSON data by adding, removing, or changing properties. An ObjectNode is created with the JsonNodeFactory class, which provides methods for creating different types of JsonNode objects.
In general, you should use JsonNode when you only need to read JSON data, and don't need to modify it. You might use ObjectNode when you need to modify the data, such as when you're building up a JSON object programmatically.
