Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

The read-only lastChild property of the Node interface returns the last child of the node, or null if there are no child nodes.

Note: This property returns any type of node that is the last child of this one. It may be a Text or a Comment node. If you want to get the last Element that is a child of another element, consider using Element.lastElementChild.
