getElementsByTagName(): This getElementsByTagName() method returns a NodeList of all descendant Elements with a given tag name, in the order in which they are encountered in a preorder traversal of this Element tree.

getChildNodes(): This is a method. This getChildNodes() method returns a NodeList that contains all children of this node.

getParentNode(): The parent of this node. All nodes, except Attr, Document, DocumentFragment, Entity, and Notation may have a parent.

nextSibling(): The node immediately following this node. If there is no such node, this returns null.
