In a class such as NSFileManager there are 2 versions of practically every method. One for paths and one for URLs. What's the difference? And what's the best practice for converting a URL to a path.

A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) identifies a resource on a remote server and gives the network location on that server. The URL path is the string of information that comes after the top level domain name. You can use the HTTP-proxy to block websites that contain specified text in the URL path.
1 Answer. Show activity on this post. file is a registered URI scheme (for "Host-specific file names"). So yes, file URIs are URLs.
The path refers to the exact location of a page, post, file, or other asset. It is often analogous to the underlying file structure of the website. The path resides after the hostname and is separated by “/” (forward slash).
The path function is contained with the django. urls module within the Django project code base. path is used for routing URLs to the appropriate view functions within a Django application using the URL dispatcher.
path is location of a resource (file/directory) in a file system. Just like iOS File System, other environments file system can be Windows file system, Unix etc. Path can have spaces like /docs/random doc/. (between random and doc)
URL is is a reference to a resource anywhere (file system, web HTTP, FTP etc). URL can not have spaces like path.
Web URL: http://stackoverflow.com/
file URL: file://localhost/Users/username/docs/random%20docs/path for above mentioned file URL: /Users/username/docs/random%20docs/
in layman terms:
URL = protocol (http, file etc) + host (domain name or IP or localhost) + path

URL includes the protocol being used (http:// etc). Path doesn't or doesn't need at least.
