JavaScript window.location vs document.location

In JavaScript, both window.location and document.location refer to the same underlying object, but there are some subtle distinctions:

window.location

• window.location is the most commonly used way to interact with the browser's URL.
• It is a property of the window object and represents the entire URL of the current page.
• It can be used to get or set the URL, reload the page, or navigate to a different page.
• Example: window.location.href = "https://example.com"; (navigates to the specified URL).

document.location

• document.location is essentially an alias for window.location and refers to the same object.
• It is a property of the document object, which represents the current web page's content.
• While technically valid, document.location is less commonly used and may be considered less semantically appropriate than window.location.

In summary, both window.location and document.location point to the same Location object, and either can be used to access and manipulate the URL of the page. However, window.location is generally the preferred way due to its association with the global window object.
