URL (Uniform Resource Locator)

A URL, or Uniform Resource Locator, is a reference or address used to access content on the internet. It specifies the location of a resource on the web, such as a webpage, image, or file. A URL consists of several components: the scheme (e.g., HTTP or HTTPS), the domain name (e.g., www.example.com), and optionally, a path and query parameters that direct the browser to specific content or actions. By typing a URL into a web browser, users can retrieve and interact with online resources, making URLs fundamental to web navigation and internet functionality.
