URL: origin property

The origin read-only property of the URL interface returns a string containing the Unicode serialization of the origin of the represented URL.

The exact structure varies depending on the type of URL:

  • For http or https URLs, the scheme followed by '://', followed by the domain, followed by ':', followed by the port (if explicitly specified, unless it is the default port - 80 and 443 respectively).
  • For file: URLs, the value is browser dependent.
  • for blob: URLs, the origin of the URL following blob: will be used. For example, "blob:https://mozilla.org" will be returned as "https://mozilla.org".

Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
