I can give you the reference at most:

NodeList objects are collections of nodes returned by Node.childNodes and the querySelectorAll method.

The JavaScript Array global object is a constructor for arrays, which are high-level, list-like objects.

And here is David Walsh's blog : Convert NodeList to Array which suggest:

var nodesArray = Array.prototype.slice.call(document.querySelectorAll("div"));

The question is about difference between them, not about "what is it" – Yang Oct 21 '13 at 12:11

once user know what both is, then it will be easy to identify the differences – diEcho Oct 21 '13 at 12:12
In particular, from [MDN NodeList page](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/NodeList): `NodeList.prototype contains the item method, but none of the Array.prototype methods, so they cannot be used on NodeLists.` – Alberto De Caro Oct 21 '13 at 12:20
I came here to look for `Array`->`NodeList`. – Solomon Ucko May 07 '16 at 19:59
