Getting a Node Relative to Another Node in a DOM Document

This example demonstrates the various methods for using a node to retrieve related nodes --- parent, child, etc.
// Get the parent Node parent = node.getParentNode(); // Get children NodeList children = node.getChildNodes(); // Get first child; null if no children Node child = node.getFirstChild(); // Get last child; null if no children child = node.getLastChild(); // Get next sibling; null if node is last child Node sibling = node.getNextSibling(); // Get previous sibling; null if node is first child sibling = node.getPreviousSibling(); // Get first sibling sibling = node.getParentNode().getFirstChild(); // Get last sibling sibling = node.getParentNode().getLastChild();
