The Document.origin read-only property returns the document's origin. In most cases, this property is equivalent to document.defaultView.location.origin.
Examples
var origin = document.origin; // On this page, returns:'https://developer.mozilla.org' var origin = document.origin; // On "about:blank", returns:'null' var origin = document.origin; // On "data:text/html,<b>foo</b>", returns:'null'
