How do I get the id of the selected node in jsTree?

Question

How can I get the id of the selected node in a jsTree?

function createNewNode() {
  alert(\'test\');
  var tree = $.tree.reference(\"#basic_html\");
  select

In some cases and/or jstree versions this solution doesn't work.

$('#tree').jstree('get_selected').attr('id');

Instead of defined "id" I get nothing. What did the trick for me is:

$("#tree").jstree("get_selected").toString();
