API Routing would be a useful definition here.

[TGillispie]

Similar to application layer routing.

Summary

Adding API routing as it is used all over the place in API Development, (Express, Fastify, League/Route, etc.) Service layer or API routing is similar but different from client appliation routing.

Motivation

I'm building a list of (Restful API) vocabulary words for my team at NOAA NEFSC and am using MDN Web Docs as one of my primary resources. It would be nice to have a good definition of routing on the server.

Supporting details

Not sure.

@TGillispie , I have a PR open at the moment to convert the Glossary into Markdown (#9384). Could I please ask that you resubmit this PR when that's merged?

[TGillispie]

Sure thing.

Thanks for this PR, @TGillispie ! Since my PR to convert the whole glossary has conflicts now anyway I thought we should try to merge this one before I try again.

I had a couple of comments. The first doesn't actually refer to any changes you've made and is more like copy-editing, the second is a bit more substantive and please let me know if I've destroyed the sense of what you were saying.

This page has a "See also" section listing examples of the existing definitions - it would be helpful I think to include examples of this one too.

Thanks for your contribution @TGillispie ! And it's great to know you're using MDN in NOAA!

(and yes, it can get pretty confusing. Please don't hesitate to ask if you want any help getting a contribution through.)
