Method

NodegetNextNodeSibling(Node node)
Get the next non-text sibling after a node. 
Node sibling = node.getNextSibling();
while (sibling != null && sibling.getNodeType() != Node.ELEMENT_NODE)
    sibling = sibling.getNextSibling();
return sibling;
NodegetNextSibling(Node node)
get Next Sibling 
Node sibling = node.getNextSibling();
while (sibling != null && isWhitespace(sibling)) {
    sibling = sibling.getNextSibling();
return sibling;
ElementgetNextSiblingElement(Node n)
Gets the next sibling Element of the node, skipping any Text nodes such as whitespace. 
Node sib = n.getNextSibling();
while (sib != null && sib.getNodeType() != Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
    sib = sib.getNextSibling();
if (sib != null) {
    return (Element) sib;
} else {
    return null;
...
ElementgetNextSiblingElement(Node n, String ns, String localName)
Gets the next sibling Element of the node of the given name, skipping any Text nodes such as whitespace. 
Element e = getNextSiblingElement(n);
while (e != null && !isElementNamed(e, ns, localName))
    e = getNextSiblingElement(e);
return e;
ElementgetNextSiblingElement(Node node)
get Next Sibling Element
