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 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 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
