{{APIRef("DOM")}}

The **`NodeList.values()`** method returns an
{{jsxref("Iteration_protocols",'iterator')}} allowing to go through all values contained
in this object. The values are {{domxref("Node")}} objects.

## Syntax

```js
nodeList.values();
```

### Return value

Returns an {{jsxref("Iteration_protocols","iterator")}}.

## Example

```js
var node = document.createElement("div");
var kid1 = document.createElement("p");
var kid2 = document.createTextNode("hey");
var kid3 = document.createElement("span");

node.appendChild(kid1);
node.appendChild(kid2);
node.appendChild(kid3);

var list = node.childNodes;

// Using for..of
for(var value of list.values()) {
  console.log(value);
}
```

The result is:

    <p>
    #text "hey"
    <span>
