Difference between nav vs div.navbar in Bootstrap

Question

Some of Bootstrap\'s examples use div.navbar to hold the navigation bar, and other examples (e.g., in the Components documentation page) use nav.navbar

Answer 1

Nav is semantically more correct and is preferred over Div. As to some answers I have read, Div is often regarded as the last option to use in any element but we often see the opposite.

MDN Definition Nav

The HTML

element represents a section of a page whose purpose is to provide navigation links, either within the current document or to other documents. Common examples of navigation sections are menus, tables of contents, and indexes. Here's the MDN Page Link for Nav Element

As I searched some more on the internet for Navbar, all I can get from that is Navbar is specifically for Links and Button Elements. It is used inside Nav, as we see it being used in bootstrap docs.
