# 🛣️ Server Router ​

In this section, we discuss how to use the `FlashServer` router to manage our `RequestHandler` instances. The router is used to define route endpoints and their corresponding handler, which are executed when a request is made to the server.

The `FlashServer` router is an instance of the `RouteController` class, each server instance has its own router instance. To access the router instance, you can call the `route()` method on the `FlashServer` instance.

## Creating a Route ​

To create a route, you need to call the `route()` method on your server's instance (in this case for simplicity, on the InternalFlashServer) and specify the base path of the route, followed by your handler class,

java

    // Example.java
    public class Example {
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            FlashServer server = new FlashServer(8080);

            server.route("/api")
                .register(MyHandler.class);

            server.start();
        }
    }

java

    // MyHandler.java

    @RouteInfo(method = HttpMethod.GET, path = "/hello")
    public class MyHandler extends RequestHandler {
        public MyHandler(Request req, Response res) {
            super(req, res);
        }

        @Override
        public Object handle() {
            String response = "Hello, world!";
            return response;
        }
    }

In the example above, we create an `/api` router and register the `MyHandler` class to handle requests on the `/api/hello` endpoint.

This is because the `path` property of the `RouteInfo` annotation is relative to the base path of the router, which in this case is `/api`.

Visiting `/api/hello` from your browser will result in the response `Hello, world!`.
