Check if URL is valid or not in Java

Given a URL as string, we need to find if the given URL is valid or not.

Input : str = "https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/"
Output : Yes


Input : str = "https:// www.geeksforgeeks.org/"
Output : No
Note that there is a space after https://

Using java.net.url We can use java.net.url class to validate a URL. The idea is to create a URL object from the specified String representation. If we do not get exception while creating the object, we return true. Else we return false. Output:

Yes
No
