{{lowercase title}}

The '''view-source''' [[Uniform Resource Identifier#Syntax|URI scheme]] is used by some [[Web browser|web browsers]] to construct [[Uniform Resource Identifier|URI]]s that result in the browser displaying the [[source code]] of a [[web page]] or other [[web resource]].<ref>{{Cite report |url=https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-yevstifeyev-view-source-uri/ |title=The 'view-source' URI Scheme |last=Yevstifeyev |first=Mykyta |date=2011-04-23 |publisher=Internet Engineering Task Force |issue=draft-yevstifeyev-view-source-uri-01}}</ref>

For example, this [[Uniform Resourcethe Identifier|URI]] would'''<code>view-source:<nowiki>https://example.com</nowiki></code>''' should show the source of the page located at <code>[httphttps://www.example.com httphttps://www.example.com]:</code>.

'''<nowiki>view-source:http://www.example.com</nowiki>'''

In the early Internet, the View Source technique helped people learn by example to create their own web pages.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Sahlin |first1=Doug |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cfDRYLDyKcoC&dq=%22view+source%22&pg=PA161 |title=Building Web Sites All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies |last2=Snell |first2=Claudia |date=2007-02-03 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |isbn=978-0-470-12720-9 |language=en}}</ref>

On 25 May 2011 the 'view-source' URI scheme was officially registered with IANA <ref>{{cite web|last=Yevstifeyev|first=M.|title='view-source' URI scheme registration template|url=http://www.iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/view-source|accessdate=17 July 2011}}</ref> per RFC 4395.
