how to remove the url extension

Question

I am developing a website for myself, pure and without server language.

The urls are as they are called in the a tag, for example: blog / index.html.

Is there anything I can use to change that? I don't want to have to use framework. I would like to know if there is any tool that does this.

What I want to change is the ending. I don't want the extension to appear, just the route

try create .htaccess file on your root folder then paste this

#remove html file extension-e.g. https://example.com/file.html will become https://example.com/file
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html [NC,L]

you can read more about this here https://www.plothost.com/kb/how-to-remove-php-html-extensions-with-htaccess/

EDIT

Since you are using Vercel.com, as per their documentation there's a file config named vercel.json you can add this

{
  "cleanUrls": true
}

the docs said,

When set to true, all HTML files and Serverless Functions will have their extension removed. When visiting a path that ends with the extension, a 308 response will redirect the client to the extensionless path.

for more information pls read their docs here https://vercel.com/docs/configuration#project/clean-urls

hmm thats weird, did you put the `.htaccess` file on root folder? – naoval luthfi May 12 '21 at 12:27

https://www.keycdn.com/support/htaccess-not-working maybe there's a configuration from your hosting that is not allowed your `.htaccess` – naoval luthfi May 12 '21 at 12:28
man, .htaccess only works for apache servers. I am using Vercel as hosting. Do you know what the other configuration files are? – GobsRuiz May 12 '21 at 12:33

i read their documentation, there is a `vercel.json` it's similar to `.htaccess` file on apache, i'll update my answer – naoval luthfi May 12 '21 at 13:20
