Questions tagged [routes]

Questions about mapping URLs to Controllers and Actions.

MVC web application (like Ruby on Rails, ASP.NET MVC, etc) uses routes to map an arbitrary URL to a specific controller/action.

For example

http://example.com/foo/bar/23

Unusual URLs could also be mapped

http://example.com/my/places
