Well-Known URIs.md

.well-known is a standardized path on a website’s root domain that allows services to access metadata and configurations related to that domain. It’s defined by RFC 5785.

The IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority) maintains a registry of well-known URIs, ensuring that these paths are standardized and avoid conflicts.
