Route

ELI5 — The Vibe Check

A route is like a road sign that tells incoming requests where to go. When a request comes in for '/users', the router looks at its signs and says 'ah, that goes to the users controller.' Routes map URLs to code.

Real Talk

A route defines the mapping between an HTTP method + URL path and the handler function that processes the request. Routes are declared in a router and determine how the application responds to different URL patterns.
