A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is a specific type of address used to locate resources on the internet. It tells your web browser where to find a particular webpage or file.
A typical URL includes several parts: the protocol (like http or https), the domain name (like example.com), and sometimes a path to a specific page or file (like /about). For instance, https://www.example.com/about is a complete URL.
URLs are essential for navigating the web, as they direct users to the right content. Understanding how they work helps in using and developing web applications more effectively.
Example
https://www.example.com/about
