UNIVERSAL RESOURCE LOCATOR (URL)

 

        URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator. It is a string of characters that provides the address or location of a resource on the internet. URLs are used to access web pages, files, images, videos, and other resources available on the World Wide Web.

Here's an example of a complete URL: https://www.example.com/products/electronics?id=123&category=books#section3

In this example:

• Protocol: "https://"
• Domain: "www.example.com"
• Path: "/products/electronics"
• Query Parameters: "?id=123&category=books"
• Fragment Identifier: "#section3"

URLs play a crucial role in navigating the web and accessing specific resources. They are used in web browsers, hyperlinks, API requests, and various other web-based applications to locate and retrieve information from the internet.
