The documentURI property of the Document interface returns the document location as a string.
As originally defined in DOM3 this attribute read/write. In the modern DOM Standard it is read only.
Syntax
var string = document.documentURI;
Notes
HTML documents have a document.URL property which returns the same value. Unlike URL, documentURI is available on all types of documents.
