I get what they were going for here, but ehhh, the only useful designation is URL. And even acknowledging that URIs exist, it's overly broad to refer to http:// http://... as one. I remember seeing "URI" a lot some ObjC libraries to refer to URLs, it was just confusing.
- yencabulator 3y ago> the only useful designation is URL Yup, URNs were part of the "semantic web" craze, so you could e.g. record facts about a book with isbn: scheme URNs. Nothing much consequential ever came from all that committee busywork, but people got to pontificate and sound smart talking about reification and so on. I still wonder who paid for all of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resource_Description_Framework
- hot_gril 3y agoSeems like URNs fit into the XML/XMPP/SOAP genre, old bloated stuff. For some reason there had to be a whole fad for people to realize you can just shove data into JSON and it's good enough.
