The Navigation API is comprised of the following:

NavigationNode Object : represents a node in the navigation tree
AFPModel Object : provides read-only access to the navigation tree of the current user
AFPController Object : controls access to navigation events
AFPService Object : enables actions, such as navigation to a specific node
setInitialNodes Method : defines the display sequence of nodes in top-level navigation
