Routing Essentials

Introduction

Routing is the core of every API, and this lesson helps you master it. You’ll learn how to structure your routes in a clean, readable way and how Cortado.js keeps things modular by default.

Topics covered

• Defining route methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE

• Handling route parameters and query strings

• Organizing routes into files and nested folders

• Adding fallback routes and error-safe structures

Bonus

You'll also learn how to protect sensitive routes and add middleware for route-level control. Perfect for those who want clarity, scalability, and convention.
