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

Confused about whats a uri? No worries—it’s just a fancy way to say "resource identifier." URLs are the ones with `http://` or `https://`.

Example:
- URI: `geo:40.7128,-74.0060` (coordinates, not a webpage)
- URL: `https://maps.google.com` (web address)

Pro tip: W3C’s site has a dry but precise breakdown if you’re curious.
