What is Route?

A URL pattern that maps to specific code or content in your application

Why It Matters

Routes define how users navigate your app and what they see at each URL

Real-World Example

/products shows the product list, while /products/123 shows a specific product

“Understanding terms like Route matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”

Callum Holt, Founder, 13Labs

From definition to deployment

Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
