Validating URL in Java

For the benefit of the community, since this thread is top on Google when searching for
“url validator java“

Catching exceptions is expensive, and should be avoided when possible. If you just want to verify your String is a valid URL, you can use the UrlValidator class from the Apache Commons Validator project.

For example:

String[] schemes = {"http","https"}; // DEFAULT schemes = "http", "https", "ftp"
UrlValidator urlValidator = new UrlValidator(schemes);
if (urlValidator.isValid("ftp://foo.bar.com/")) {
   System.out.println("URL is valid");
} else {
   System.out.println("URL is invalid");
}
