What is the functional difference between an absolute URL link and a relative URL link in web coding?

When building a custom HTML script or SEO content site, when should a developer use absolute domain paths over standard relative directory structures?

An absolute URL contains the complete address path including protocol (https://site.com/page). A relative URL links to a local file relative to the current folder (/page). Absolute paths are mandatory for sitemaps and RSS fields.
