<description>
This method will create a jQuery object from the contents of the API instance's result set. This is primarily of use when working with the `nodes()` functions of the API such as `dt-api rows().nodes()`, `dt-api column().nodes()` and `dt-api cells().nodes()`, where it can be useful to easily convert the API instance into an jQuery object, working with the nodes using the chaining methods provided by jQuery.
Please note that `dt-api to$()` and `dt-api toJQuery()` are identical in functionality. Both methods are provided to cater for the two common forms of how jQuery is used.
