URL

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is a standardized string of characters that specifies the location of a resource, such as a web page, image, or file, and the protocol needed to retrieve it. Think of it as the mailing address for something on the internet.

It typically includes several components: the scheme (like http or https for web pages), a domain name (like www.example.com), and sometimes a path to a specific file or page (like /about-us).

Example: https://www.example.com/products/item123 is a URL that points to a specific product page on the example.com website.

URLs are fundamental to navigating the World Wide Web and are commonly encountered when browsing websites, sending links, or accessing online content.
