Sibling Navigation
Navigate between sibling elements at the same DOM level
javascript
// Next sibling
const next = element.nextElementSibling
const nextNode = element.nextSibling // Can be text
// Previous sibling
const prev = element.previousElementSibling
const prevNode = element.previousSibling
// All siblings
const parent = element.parentElement
const siblings = Array.from(parent.children)
.filter(child => child !== element)💡 ElementSibling properties skip text nodes
📌 Sibling properties return null at boundaries
⚡ Cache parent.children for multiple operations
✅ Filter self out when getting all siblings
