# URL

URL data for one file or resource.

## Declaration

```swift
static let URL: NSPasteboard.PasteboardType
```

## Discussion

Discussion In macOS 10.6 and later, use writeObjects(_:) to write URLs directly to the pasteboard instead. In macOS 10.5 and earlier, write an URL to a pasteboard using the write(to:) method of NSURL. To get an URL from a pasteboard, use the init(fromPasteboard:) method of NSURL.
