REST API v0.2.0 Nodes
Nodes are standalone objects which represent a single question. A Node can be one of two types, AnswerableNode and NonAnswerableNode. All Nodes are answerable with the exception of the 'note' type. The type is defined by the Node's type_constraint property.
When a Survey is created, Nodes (think "question definition") are associated with it through a SurveyNode. The SurveyNode can be thought of as a specific instance of a Node -- it is the linking object between the Node and the Survey. This allows multiple Surveys to include a certain question while maintaining the ability to identify the question by a unique ID, which simplifies the aggregation of answers and makes the data easy to work with.

}POST /api/v0/nodes
A Node (again, think 'question') can be one of several types, defined by its type_constraint value, which enforces the types of acceptable answer values:
NODE_TYPES = {
'text': TextQuestion,
'photo': PhotoQuestion,
'integer': IntegerQuestion,
'decimal': DecimalQuestion,
'date': DateQuestion,
'time': TimeQuestion,
'timestamp': TimestampQuestion,
'location': LocationQuestion,
'facility': FacilityQuestion,
'multiple_choice': MultipleChoiceQuestion,
'note': Note,
}
The allow_multiple property defines whether this Node (question) should accept multiple answers. Defaults to false.
The allow_other property defines whether this Node (question) should allow an 'other' answer option. Defaults to false.

}DELETE /api/v0/nodes/<Node_UUID>
Delete requests have no response payload. A successful deletion will respond with an empty 204 No Content status code.
Note: Deletions are non-destructive; data is simply marked as deleted, and will no longer appear in standard queries.
