What is the difference between the Load and Render objects in Devel? When viewing a Node in the Devel tab, what are these different objects Load and Render? How and where would I have access to them in the theme layer?
The "Load" tab shows the output of node_load(), while the "Render" tab shows the output of node_view(). In the first case, the output is a node object; in the second case, the output is an array as accepted by drupal_render().
