jsTree onSelect event

Question

I've been trying to get the text of a node that is selected in a jsTree. I am able to populate the tree and trigger the onSelect event, but I can't find out which node was clicked. I've seen examples on the net that use data.rslt.obj.attr("data") to fetch the text, however this is returning undefined for me. Additionally, when I try to get the selected node using .jstree('get_selected') I can't find the node text anywhere in the object. How can I get the node text?

Here is my onSelect callback function:

function onSelect(event, data)
{
    // Get the name of the equipment that was selected.
    var selected_node = $("#equipment_tree").jstree('get_selected');
    var equipment_name = data.rslt.obj.attr("data");
}

Update in 2018.

Thanks to @ProfK's comment, the API has changed in new version of jstree. In jstree v3.1.0 (or earlier), the API has changed to:

$("#treeContainer").on(
        "select_node.jstree", function(evt, data){
            //selected node object: data.node;
        }
);

For jstree old version (before 2013).

You can get the selected node object and its text by:

$("#treeContainer").bind(
        "select_node.jstree", function(evt, data){
            //selected node object: data.inst.get_json()[0];
            //selected node text: data.inst.get_json()[0].data
        }
);
