Are the terms “URL” and “path” interchangeable?

Question

If you think this is not the case, provide an example of a line that can be called "URL" rather than "path", and another - "path" rather than "URL".

Answer 1

URIs (including URLs, although in most cases this difference does not matter, and URLs are always URIs, so basically we are just talking about URIs these days) is a globally unique identifier for a resource.

eg. http://example.net/foo/bar?a=b

The path is part of the URI, in the example above the path is / foo / bar

URI - URI. , , URI, , , URI . , /foo/bar? A = b, URI , , . , .. /bar?a=b, , ://example.net/foo/bar? A = b, URI URI HTTP, , URI HTTPS .

The URL is basically a "web specific term", but the path can be used in many different contexts, file system paths, XML paths [x], etc.
