What is hyperlink?

A hyperlink is a link that connects one piece of content to another, typically in the context of web pages or digital documents. When clicked, tapped, or otherwise activated, a hyperlink allows a user to navigate from the current location to the linked destination.

Key Features:
1. Destination:
– A hyperlink often leads to another web page, a specific section within the same page, a file, an email address, or another online resource.

2. Appearance:
– Hyperlinks are commonly displayed as underlined and/or colored text (usually blue by default) or as clickable buttons or images.

3. Types:
– Text Links: Text that acts as a hyperlink, often descriptive.
– Image Links: Images that, when clicked, direct to a destination.
4. Protocol:
– Hyperlinks usually use protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, or mailto (for email links).

Example:
Here’s an example of a hyperlink in HTML:

 <a href="https://www.example.com">Visit Example Website</a> 

– `href` specifies the destination URL.
– The clickable text is “Visit Example Website.”

Hyperlinks are the foundation of the web, enabling easy navigation between resources and making information interconnected and accessible.
