	// once the library is required, you can now use one of the main "interaction" classes.
	// These interaction classes contain methods that get information from our REST API and
	// converts them to PHP objects for you to use.
	$Category = new CurtCategory(); // create a new category object to gain access to its functions.
	$Category = $Category->getCategoryByName("Hitches"); // returns a FullCategory object
	echo "<h2>Get Category By name: 'Hitches'</h2>";


	// CurtFullCategory Object contains 3 child objects (parent, content, sub_categories). 
	// step down into the child object named "parent" and
	// use the getter to get the value for the shortDesc Property.
	echo "<strong>Short Description: </strong>" . $Category->getParent()->getShortDesc();
