URL Class

Every time you enter a web address into your browser or click on a link, you're interacting with a fundamental part of the web: the Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The URL class in Java allows you to represent and manipulate these web addresses programmatically.

Understanding how to work with the URL class can unlock a variety of networking capabilities, from constructing URLs to fetching data from online resources.

In this chapter, we will dive deep into the URL class, exploring its structure, methods, and practical applications. By the end, you'll gain the confidence to handle URLs effectively in your Java applications.
