Take a look at the node doc (you can click further on the ezcontentobject link for doc on object):
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/4_0/reference/objects/ezcontentobjecttreenode

but, be aware that several of the attributes of objects triggers sql calls* to get them, so the less dots '.', the better.

Meaning "$node.class_identifier" is generally better then "$node.object.class_identifier".
And in stead of doing $node.object all over your code, define it as a $variable and re use that.

* You can see this more or less in the doc, attributes that are marked as Static, 'No' needs extra work to return the value.

For php $node.class_identifier will quite easily be:

$classIdentifier = $node->attribute('class_identifier');

All classes that extends eZPersistentObject supports this, actually attribute() and hasAttribute functions is a requirement to be able to use an object in templates.
