URL

URL is address by which we access data on Internet like web page, video ,image etc also URL helps a user to send data from client to server with the help of parameters. URL typically consists of several parts

Protocol

The method of accessing the resource, like http:// or https://.

Domain Name

The name of the server where the resource is hosted, like www.example.com.

Path

The specific location of the resource on the server, like /about-us.

Parameters (optional): Extra information added to the URL, like ?id=123 to pass data to the server.

Example of a URL:

https://www.example.com/products?category=shoes
https: Protocol (Secure HTTP)
www.example.com: Domain name (the website)
/products: Path (the specific page or directory)
?category=shoes: Query parameter (extra info for the page)

In short, a URL is the web address you type in your browser to go to a website or access online resources.
