Uniform resource locator

Formale Definition

URL stands for uniform resource locator: a structured address that identifies the location of a resource or route, typically including protocol, host, path, and optional query parameters.

Einfach erklärt

It is the address you copy, share, or open. On the web it points to a page or resource. In mobile routing, the URL often carries the path or context that decides what should open next.

Visuelle Journey

Structure: a URL is a layered address. The scheme tells the browser how to connect, the host identifies where to go, the path points to the destination, and the query or fragment can add routing context.
