Router
Noun · Development
Definitions
In networking, a device that forwards packets between networks by examining destination IP addresses and consulting a routing table. In web development, a software component that matches incoming URLs to the appropriate handler or component — such as Express Router or React Router.
In plain English: A device or software that directs traffic to the right destination — either network packets to the right network, or web requests to the right page.
Example: "React Router v6 uses nested routes with an Outlet component so child views render inside the parent layout."
