Can someone explain whats a URI in simple terms? or Whats a URI and how is it different from a URL?[

Okay, so whats a uri? Short version: It’s a string that IDs a thing. Could be a name, could be a location. URLs are the "location" kind.

Example time:
- `tel:+123456789` (URI for a phone number)
- `https://example.com/page` (URL, a type of URI)

Extra tidbit: URNs (like `urn:uuid:12345`) are another URI type—just names, no location.
