Nested routes are arranged in a tree-like structure. To find a match, React Router traverses the route config depth-first searching for a route that matches the URL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Path Syntax<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A route path is a string pattern that is used to match a URL (or a portion of one). Route paths are interpreted literally, except for the following special symbols:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>:paramName \u2013 matches a URL segment up to the next \/, ?, or #. The matched string is called a param<\/li>\n<li>() \u2013 Wraps a portion of the URL that is optional. You may escape parentheses if you want to use them in a url using a backslash \\<\/li>\n<li>*\u2013 Matches all characters (non-greedy) up to the next character in the pattern, or to the end of the URL if there is none, and creates a splat param<\/li>\n<li>** &#8211; Matches all characters (greedy) until the next \/, ?, or # and creates a splat param<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&lt;Route path=&#8221;\/hello\/:name&#8221;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ matches \/hello\/michael and \/hello\/ryan<\/p>\n<p>&lt;Route path=&#8221;\/hello(\/:name)&#8221;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ matches \/hello, \/hello\/michael, and \/hello\/ryan<\/p>\n<p>&lt;Route path=&#8221;\/files\/*.*&#8221;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ matches \/files\/hello.jpg and \/files\/hello.html<\/p>\n<p>&lt;Route path=&#8221;\/**\/*.jpg&#8221;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ matches \/files\/hello.jpg and \/files\/path\/to\/file.jpg<\/p>\n<p>&lt;Route path=&#8221;\/hello\\\\(:name\\\\)&#8221;&gt;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \/\/ matches \/hello(michael)<\/p>\n<p>If a route uses a relative path, it builds upon the accumulated path of its ancestors. Nested routes may opt-out of this behavior by using an absolute path.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Precedence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the routing algorithm attempts to match routes in the order they are defined, top to bottom. So, when you have two sibling routes you should be sure the first doesn&#8217;t match all possible paths that can be matched by the later sibling.
