Routing

Part of the Backend Developer Roadmap

In short

Mapping HTTP methods and URL paths to handler functions — the core job of any web framework, and the first thing you define for every new endpoint.

How to learn this

  1. 1Build routes for all 5 common HTTP methods against one resource.
  2. 2Practice route parameters (`/users/:id`) alongside static routes.
  3. 3Organize related routes into their own router files as the app grows.
