What is the difference between http and www in web site addresses?

HTTP is a shortcut to HyperText Transfer Protocol, the most popular Internet protocol of our time. Http is a way to communicate between a web browser such as Chrome and the web server you are browsing (such as a programming site).

WWW is a shortcut to the World Wide Web. In the link you visit online, you mean that you are visiting a website like a programming site.

There are many protocols used on the Internet, and in order to differentiate between them, you must specify which protocol you want to use when you ask for something from the Internet server. Internet browsers allow many protocols, such as http, ftp, file, news. However, most web sites use the http protocol.
