console.log is for debugging and testing your code (Development mode only) . document.write for writing to web page (overwrite everything on the web page). I prefer innerHTML: var node = document.getElementById("node_id"); node.innerHTML = "some output";

console.log is for debug or error message, document.write is for other output (to write directly in the page)

document.write is used to write plain text or HTML content to the page that is visible to the viewers while console.log is used for debugging and it is visible to the developers not normal viewers

console.log is for debug and the user not will see it in document only in console. document.write will write in document
