<?php 
$node = $session->getItem("pcr:root/users/jsmith")->toNode();

$firstName = $node->getProperty("firstName")->getString();
$lastName = $node->getProperty("lastName")->getString();
$isMarried = $node->getProperty("isMarried")->getBoolean();
$age = $node->getProperty("age")->getInteger();

$friends = $node->getProperty("friends")->getNodes();
