What is a URI Scheme?

A URI scheme is a prefix with a symbol used to identify a resource or an action on the internet. It can include a specific component following the symbol, such as a domain name or an email address. Certain URI schemes are standardized and registered, like "http:" for web pages, "mailto:" for emails, or "tel:" for phone calls.

Additionally, there are custom URI schemes that are less widely known, like "whatsapp:" for WhatsApp, "fb:" for Facebook, or "youtube:" for YouTube. These are designed for specific applications or platforms, enabling them to launch or interact with these applications.
