## Overview
The **`child_nodes` method** is used to find all the child nodes for the given element. This method is provided by the `Mojo::DOM` module, which is an HTML/XML DOM parser with CSS selectors.

It is helpful while fetching the first child node or last child node for the given element.


## Syntax
```
$dom->at('html element')->child_nodes
```
## Return value 
This method returns the `Mojo::Collection`, which contains each child node as a `Mojo::DOM` object.



<div>
   Inside div 
   <p id="a">Inside first paragraph </p>
   <p id="b">Inside second paragraph</p>
</div>

use 5.010;
use Mojo::DOM;

# Parse the html
my $dom = Mojo::DOM->new('<div>Inside div <p id="a">Inside first paragraph </p><p id="b">Inside second paragraph</p></div>');

# Get first child element
say $dom->at('div')->child_nodes->first;

# Get last child element
say $dom->at('div')->child_nodes->last;
