Java - URL equals() Method with Examples
Description
The Java URL equals(E e) method compares the current URL object for equality with another object based on following criteria −
Return false if the given object is not a URL.
Two URL objects are equal if they both are having the same protocol, reference equivalent hosts, same port number on the host, and the same file and fragment of the file.
Two hosts are considered equivalent if both host names can be resolved into the same IP addresses.
If either host name can't be resolved, the host names must be equal without regard to case.
Both host names equal to null then return true.
Since hosts comparison requires name resolution, this operation is a blocking operation.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.net.URL.equals(Object obj) method
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Parameters
obj − The URL object to be compared.
Return Value
true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.
Exception
NA
Example 1
The following example shows the usage of Java URL equals(Object e) method. In this example, we're creating an instances of URL and URLConnection classes. Now using equals method we're comparing both the objects. As being different type of objects, result is false as expected and verified in output as shown below −
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URL; import java.net.URLConnection; public class UrlDemo { public static void main(String [] args) { try { URL url = new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se"); URLConnection urlConnection = url.openConnection(); System.out.println(url.equals(urlConnection)); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Output
false
Example 2
The following example shows the usage of Java URL equals(Object e) method. In this example, we're creating two instances of URL classes with same url. Now using equals method we're comparing both the objects. As being object based on same url, result is as expected and verified in output as shown below −
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URL; public class UrlDemo { public static void main(String [] args) { try { URL url = new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se"); URL urlToCompare = new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se"); System.out.println(url.equals(urlToCompare)); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Output
true
Example 3
The following example shows the usage of Java URL equals(Object e) method. In this example, we're creating two instances of URL classes with same url and in another instance, we're also passing host and file name. Now using equals method we're comparing both the objects. As being object are not same now, result is as expected and verified in output as shown below −
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URL; public class UrlDemo { public static void main(String [] args) { try { URL url = new URL("https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se"); URL urlToCompare = new URL("https", "https://www.tutorialspoint.com/index.htm?language=en#j2se","index.htm" ); System.out.println(url.equals(urlToCompare)); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Output
false
