How to Validate a URL Using Java

Greetings, I am back with another tutorial and today I am here with how validate a URL(Uniform Resource Locator). We can do this by attempting to create a URL object and parsing in string input containing the URL we wish to validate. A try catch statment can be used, if an error occurs, return a false, if no error occurs, return a true. Thanks for watching and have a spectacular day.

import java.net.URL;

public class CheckURLIsValid {

/**
 * @param args the command line arguments
 */

public static boolean validateURL(String urlString)
{
    try 
    {
        new URL(urlString).toURI();
    } 
    catch (Exception e) 
    {
        System.out.println(e);
        return false;
    }
    
    return true;
}

 public static void main(String[] args) {
    
    String link = "bob";
    
    System.out.println(validateURL(link));
}
