What does Javascript take as default?

Question

Example, I have the window.location.href, the location.href, the document.location.href

This second in the case, what will Javascript leave as default? Window? Default I say, I can use both the window and Document, so since I don’t put anything, it takes which one? Or is there difference of the 3 commands?

Answer 1

window.location is an object containing all information about the current document Location (host, href, ports, protocols, etc.)

document.location is a synonym for window.location, but it’s been deprecated for a long time. Don’t use this.

location.href is the abbreviated form of window.location.href (if you call global object location - window, so this is window.location.href), and in the end this is just a string with the full url of the website.
