```
public interface Route
```
Route maps from an incoming HTTP request to a Service based on its path, method, content type and accepted types.

- Method Detail
  - builder
```
static RouteBuilder builder()
```
    Returns a new builder.
  - apply
```
RoutingResult apply(RoutingContext routingCtx)
```
    Matches the specified RoutingContext and extracts the path parameters from it if exists.
    
    Parameters:
    
    routingCtx - a context to find the Service
    
    Returns:
    
    a non-empty RoutingResult if the path, method, contentType and acceptTypes matches the equivalent conditions in Route. RoutingResult.empty() otherwise.

  - paramNames
```
Set<String> paramNames()
```
    Returns the names of the path parameters extracted by this mapping.
  - loggerName
```
String loggerName()
```
    Returns the logger name.
    
    Returns:
    
    the logger name whose components are separated by a dot (.)
  - meterTag
```
String meterTag()
```
    Returns the value of the Tag in a Meter of this Route.
  - pathType
```
RoutePathType pathType()
```
    Returns the type of the path which was specified when this is created.
  - paths
```
List<String> paths()
```
    Returns the list of paths that this Route has. The paths are different according to the value of pathType(). If the path type has a trie path, this method will return a two-element list whose first element is the path that represents the type and the second element is the trie path. RoutePathType.EXACT, RoutePathType.PREFIX and RoutePathType.PARAMETERIZED have the trie path.
    
    EXACT: [ "/foo", "/foo" ] (The trie path is the same.)
    
    PREFIX: [ "/foo/", "/foo/*" ]
    
    PARAMETERIZED: [ "/foo/:", "/foo/:" ] (The trie path is the same.)
    
    RoutePathType.REGEX may have one or two paths. If the Route was created from a glob pattern, it will have two paths where the first one is the regular expression and the second one is the glob pattern, e.g. [ "^/(?(.+)/)?foo$", "/**/foo" ]. If not created from a glob pattern, it will have only one path, which is the regular expression, e.g, [ "^/(?<foo>.*)$" ]
    
    RoutePathType.REGEX_WITH_PREFIX has two paths. The first one is the regex and the second one is the path. e.g, [ "^/(?<foo>.*)$", "/bar/" ]
  - complexity
```
int complexity()
```
    Returns the complexity of this Route. A higher complexity indicates more expensive computation for route matching, usually due to additional number of checks.
  - methods
```
Set<HttpMethod> methods()
```
    Returns the Set of HttpMethods that this Route supports.
  - consumes
```
Set<MediaType> consumes()
```
    Returns the Set of MediaTypes that this Route consumes.
  - produces
```
Set<MediaType> produces()
```
    Returns the Set of MediaTypes that this Route produces.
