Scripts in one document still cannot call methods and read properties in other documents, but they can communicate securely using this messaging technique.

This technique is called “Cross Document Messaging”, also known as “Inter-Window Messaging” or “Cross Domain Messaging”.

The postMessage() method, which allows limited communication — via asynchronous messaging — between scripts from different origins.

postMessage can be used to solve problems with:

  • Data passing of the page and the new window it opens
  • Pages with nested iframe messaging
  • Message passing between multiple windows

If you want to use postMessage to achieve cross-domain communication and data communication between pages, just remember the postMessage method and message event provided by window.
