URI getPath() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 11 Jul, 2025

The getPath() function is a part of URI class. The function getPath() returns the Path name of a specified URI. Function Signature:

public String getPath()

Syntax:

url.getPath()

Parameter: This function does not require any parameter Return Type: The function returns String Type Below programs illustrates the use of getPath() function: Example 1: Given a URI we will get the Path using the getPath() function.

Java

// Java program to show the 
// use of the function getPath()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/");

            // get the  Path
            String _Path = uri.getPath();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  Path
            System.out.println(" Path=" + _Path);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URI Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/java/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/
 Path=/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples/

Example 2: The value returned by getPath() and getRawPath() is same except that all sequences of escaped octets are decoded. The getRawPath() returns the exact value of the string as provided by the user but the getPath() function decodes the sequence of escaped octets if any.

Java

// Java program to show the 
// use of the function getPath()

import java.net.*;

class Solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // uri  object
        URI uri = null;

        try {
            // create a URI
            uri = new URI("https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples%E2%82%AC/");

            // get the  Path
            String _Path = uri.getPath();

            // get the  Raw Path
            String Raw_Path = uri.getRawPath();

            // display the URI
            System.out.println("URI = " + uri);

            // display the  Path
            System.out.println(" Path=" + _Path);

            // display the  Raw_Path
            System.out.println(" Raw Path=" + Raw_Path);
        }
        // if any error occurs
        catch (URISyntaxException e) {
            // display the error
            System.out.println("URI Exception =" + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Output:

URI = https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples%E2%82%AC/
 Path=/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples?/
 Raw Path=/url-getprotocol-method-in-java-with-examples%E2%82%AC/
