The Window.location read-only property returns a Location object with information about the current location of the document.

Though Window.location is a read-only Location object, you can also assign a DOMString to it. This means that you can work with location as if it were a string in most cases: location = 'http://www.example.com' is a synonym of location.href = 'http://www.example.com'.

See Location for all available properties.

Location: href

The href property of the Location interface is a stringifier that returns a USVString containing the whole URL, and allows the href to be updated.

Setting the value of href navigates to the provided URL. If you want rediredtion, use Location.replace().
