Merb::Router is the request routing mapper for the merb framework.

You can route a specific URL to a controller / action pair:

      match("/contact").
        to(:controller => "info", :action => "contact")

You can define placeholder parts of the url with the :symbol notation. These placeholders will be available in the params hash of your controllers. For example:

      match("/books/:book_id/:action").
        to(:controller => "books")

Or, use placeholders in the "to" results for more complicated routing, e.g.:

      match("/admin/:module/:controller/:action/:id").
        to(:controller => ":module/:controller")

You can specify conditions on the placeholder by passing a hash as the second argument of "match"

      match("/registration/:course_name", :course_name => /^[a-z]{3,5}-\d{5}$/).
        to(:controller => "registration")

You can also use regular expressions, deferred routes, and many other options. See merb/specs/merb/router.rb for a fairly complete usage sample.
