URL(Uniform Resource Locator)

URL is also sometimes called as Universal


resource Locator.

Class URL represents a Uniform Resource Locator,
a pointer to a "resource" on the World Wide Web.

A resource can be something as simple as a file or
a directory, or it can be a reference to a more
complicated object, such as a query to a database
or to a search engine.
For example
http:// [Link]/[Link]
In general, a URL can be broken into several parts.
http(Hypertext Transfer Protocol): is used to
transfer the data between web server and the host
machine.
www( World Wide Web) : is a service that used to
retrieve the information.
.com: It is called as Domain name. Google is the
organization name. .com specifies that it is
commercial organization.
