Godot Node Reference/Documentation

I'm just trying to learn Godot. It seems to work on Nodes, so it would be really helpful to have a reference document dedicated to Nodes, so I can look up what they do, so that when I start a project, I can decide which node I should use. I just started a tutorial that uses a Control node as root. Why? I don't know. I know about the manual and I've enabled Godot on Devdocs but neither of these allow me to browse through Nodes and look up what they do. This I want.

node3d will create a 3d scene

its position will be the scene origin

node2d will create a 2d scene

its position will be the scene origin

control will create a 2d scene

it has no position

essentially, some 2d nodes (those with green icons), may need a control node to control some of their attributes

godot is built on classes - inheriting attributes necessary (node2d inherits from node etc.)

node is just the base class for all 'things' in godot https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_node.html

godot docs may be useful to you in future for understanding the engine
