Looking at the documentation

contentResource.GetById(id) returns

resourcePromise object containing the **content item**.

and contentResource.getChildren(parentId) returns

resourcePromise object containing an array of **content item**s.

So my expectation is that (other than being wrapped in an array) I should get the same data back from both. However...

the GetById results contains a "tabs" property which in turn contain a "properties" array

whereas the individual items in the getChildren results contain a "properties" array directly.

There are other differences but its on the properties I'm trying to access - Is one of these returning a IPublishedContent equivalent, and the other returning IContent?

Can I get the equivalent result to the one I see with getChildren when armed with a nodeid?(Without going up and down the tree!)
