Item

This object represents an item. This is a different object than the CartItem which represents the item after it's been added to the cart.

Why two items? Item and CartItem are mostly the same, but CartItem contains pricing information relative to the cart. For example, coupons added to the cart could affect the price of an item, etc. So you want to an Item object to display an item on a product page or list, and use the CartItem when displaying an item contained in a cart. This shouldn't be a real issue, as the CartItem objects are only found with the items array property of the Cart itself.

Also, please note that Item and CartItem have different 'variations' properties. See CartItem for a discussion why.
