New features:
· New views provided to return specific portions of the document:
o OBJECTS – returns the API-resolved ‘objects’ section of the document.
o FIGURES – returns all figure elements contained within the document.
o TABLES – returns all table elements contained within the document.
Note that these views are also supported as fields, which can be combined by designating them as a comma-delimited list:
ex. http://api.elsevier.com/content/article/pii/S0000000?field=objects,figures,tables
