Returns the first component of the element value.

In the case of a single-value element, the property returns exactly that value.

When the element has a multiple (list) value (see GOMElement.multiValued), the property returns the first value component (list item).

If the element has no value, the property returns null.

The returned value is represented by an object corresponding to the element data type (see GOMElement.valueType).
