URI toURL() in Java

toURL(): This method is available in the java.net.URI class of Java.

Syntax:

URL java.net.URI.toURL() throws MalformedURLException

This method constructs a URL from this URI.

This convenience method works as if invoking it were equivalent to evaluating the expression new URL(this.toString()) after first checking that this URI is absolute.

Parameters: NA

Returns: A URL constructed from this URI.

Throws:

1. IllegalArgumentException - If this URL is not absolute.

2. MalformedURLException - If a protocol handler for the URL could not be found, or if some other error occurred while constructing the URL.

Approach

Java

package com.URI;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;

public class URItoURL {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws URISyntaxException, MalformedURLException {
        String scheme = "https", userInfo = "userInfo", host = "localhost", path = "/hello", query = "param=value",
                fragment = "fragment";
        int port = 8080;

        URI uri = new URI(scheme, userInfo, host, port, path, query, fragment);

        System.out.println(uri.toURL());
    }
}

Output:

https://userInfo@localhost:8080/hello?param=value#fragment

Some other methods of URI class

URI(String): This method constructs a URI by parsing the given string.

URI(String, String, String): This method constructs a URI from the given components. A component may be left undefined by passing null.

URI(String, String, String, String): This method constructs a hierarchical URI from the given components.

URI(String, String, String, String, String): This method constructs a hierarchical URI from the given components. If a scheme is given then the path, if also given, must either be empty or begin with a slash character ('/'). Otherwise, a component of the new URI may be left undefined by passing null for the corresponding parameter.

URI(String, String, String, int, String, String, String): This method constructs a hierarchical URI from the given components. If a scheme is given then the path, if also given, must either be empty or begin with a slash character ('/'). Otherwise, a component of the new URI may be left undefined by passing null for the corresponding parameter or, in the case of the port parameter, bypassing -1.

compareTo(URI): This method compares this URI to another object, which must be a URI.

URI.create(String): This method creates a URI by parsing the given string.

equals(Object): This method tests this URI for equality with another object.

getAuthority(): This method returns the decoded authority component of this URI.

getFragment(): This method returns the decoded fragment component of this URI.

getHost(): This method returns the host component of this URI.

getPath(): This method returns the decoded path component of this URI.

getPort(): This method returns the port number of this URI.

getQuery(): This method returns the decoded query component of this URI.

getRawAuthority(): This method returns the raw authority component of this URI.

getRawPath(): This method returns the raw path component of this URI.

getRawQuery(): This method returns the raw query component of this URI.

getRawSchemeSpecificPart(): This method returns the raw scheme-specific part of this URI. The scheme-specific part is never undefined, though it may be empty.

getRawUserInfo(): This method returns the raw user-information component of this URI.

getScheme(): This method returns the scheme component of this URI.

hashCode(): This method returns a hash code value for this URI.

isAbsolute(): This method tells whether or not this URI is absolute.

isOpaque(): This method tells whether or not this URI is opaque.

normalize(): This method normalizes this URI's path.

parseServerAuthority(): This method attempts to parse this URI's authority component if defined, into user information, host, and port components.

relativize(URI):  This method relativizes the given URI against this URI.

resolve(String): This method constructs a new URI by parsing the given string and then resolving it against this URI.

resolve(URI): This method resolves the given URI against this URI

toASCIIString(): This method returns the content of this URI as a US-ASCII string.

toString(): This method returns the content of this URI as a string.

toURL(): This method constructs a URL from this URI.
