title: URI vs URL in React Native
body: <p>In react-native one can do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>const somePath = 'https://...'
  &lt;Image source={somePath} /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>const somePath = 'https://...'
  &lt;Image source={{uri: somePath}} /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>From what I understand about web addresses is that URIs are a superset of URLs and URNs.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Questions</strong></p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>What are the potential problems associated with supplying a web address to <code>source</code> as a URL?</li>
  <li><p>What are the potential problems associated with supplying a web address to <code>source</code> as a URI?</p></li>
  <li><p>Which method of supplying an address of an image to <code>source</code> is more accurate, safer, and future proof?</p></li>
