How to get the parent li class in jsTree plugin

How do I get the parent li class in jsTree plugin? Whenever I try to traverse the Javascript tree, I can get to the parent node, but I end up with an object and can never get it to output the parent class as a string, so I can do a simple conditional check against it.

Here's what I want to do: 

  // JS Tree Event handler for when a node is clicked
  $("#dutchData").bind("select_node.jstree", function (e, data) {
    // get the parent node class, and then use it in a conditional statement
    var parentNodeClass = data.node.parent.attr('class'); // this is wrong, just to demonstrate
    if(parentNodeClass != 'x'){
      // do something
    }
  });

That's because the parent property is not the element but a string id of the element. You can get the parent with jQuery and then get class like so:

$('#'+data.node.parent).attr('class');
