What is URL Values

• In CSS, URL values are used to link to and incorporate external resources, such as images, fonts, and stylesheets, into a web page
• This is accomplished using the url() function, which takes the path or address of the resource as its argument

The url() function

The basic syntax for the url() function is url(path_to_resource). The path can be either quoted (with single or double quotes) or unquoted, although quoting is recommended for robustness

Syntax examples:

• url('images/background.png')
• url("https://example.com/assets/font.woff")
• url(data:image/svg+xml;utf8)
