URL FORMAT

The Java URL class represents an URL. URL is an acronym for Uniform Resource Locator. It points to a resource on the World Wide Web. For example:
  1. http://www.javawithsuman.blogspot.com
A URL contains many information:
  1. Protocol: In this case, http is the protocol.
  2. Server name or IP Address: In this case, www.javatpoint.com is the server name.
  3. Port Number: It is an optional attribute. If we write http//ww.javatpoint.com:80/sonoojaiswal/ , 80 is the port number. If port number is not mentioned in the URL, it returns -1.
  4. File Name or directory name: In this case, index.jsp is the file name.
