Last Updated :

The
getPath() function is a part of
URL class. The function getPath() returns the Path name of a specified URL.
Function Signature:
public String getPath()
Syntax:
url.getPath()
Parameter: This function does not require any parameter
Return Type: The function returns String Type
Below programs illustrates the use of getPath() function:
Example 1: Given a URL we will get the Path using the getPath() function.
Java
// Java program to show the
// use of the function getPath()
import java.net.*;
class Solution {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// url object
URL url = null;
try {
// create a URL
url = new URL(
"https:// www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/");
// get the Path
String _Path = url.getPath();
// display the URL
System.out.println("URL = " + url);
// display the Path
System.out.println(" Path= " + _Path);
}
// if any error occurs
catch (Exception e) {
// display the error
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
Output:
URL = https:// www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/
Path= /url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/
Example 2: Now see how getPath() is different from getFile(). getPath() will exclude the query but getFile() will include the query
Java
// Java program to show the
// use of the function getPath()
import java.net.*;
class Solution {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// url object
URL url = null;
try {
// create a URL
url = new URL(
"https:// www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples?title=protocol");
// get the Path
String _Path = url.getPath();
// display the URL
System.out.println("URL = " + url);
// display the Path
System.out.println(" Path= " + _Path);
}
// if any error occurs
catch (Exception e) {
// display the error
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
Output:
URL = https:// www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples?title=protocol
Path= /url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples
