A Group field is almost identical to a repeater field. A group field is a repeater that always has exactly one row.

if (have_rows('group_field')) { will always return true.

The other difference is that get_field('repeater') will return

array(
  0 => array(
    'sub_field_1_name' => 'sub_field_1_value'
    'sub_field_2_name' => 'sub_field_2_value'
  ),
  1 => array(
    'sub_field_1_name' => 'sub_field_1_value'
    'sub_field_2_name' => 'sub_field_2_value'
  )
)

and get_field('group_field') will return

array(
  'sub_field_1_name' => 'sub_field_1_value'
  'sub_field_2_name' => 'sub_field_2_value'
)
