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

whats a uri? It’s the parent, URLs are the kid. URIs can name *or* locate stuff.

Examples:
- URI: `news:comp.lang.java` (Usenet group, not a URL)
- URL: `https://reddit.com` (webpage)

Still fuzzy? The RFC 3986 doc is the OG source, but it’s *very* technical.
