A router receives request from an `io.vertx.core.http.HttpServer` and routes it to the first matching Route that it contains. A router can contain many routes.

Routers are also used for routing failures.

Methods
`accept` | `shared default void accept(HttpServerRequest request)` This method is used to provide a request to the router. Usually you take request from the `requestHandler` and pass it to this method. The router then routes it to matching routes. Parameters: `request` the request
`clear` | `shared default Router clear()` Remove all the routes from this router
`connect` | `shared default Route connect()` Add a route that matches any HTTP CONNECT request
`connect` | `shared default Route connect(String path)` Add a route that matches a HTTP CONNECT request and the specified path Parameters: `path` URI paths that begin with this path will match
`connectWithRegex` | `shared default Route connectWithRegex(String regex)` Add a route that matches a HTTP CONNECT request and the specified path regex Parameters: `regex` URI paths that begin with a match for this regex will match
`delete` | `shared default Route delete()` Add a route that matches any HTTP DELETE request
`delete` | `shared default Route delete(String path)` Add a route that matches a HTTP DELETE request and the specified path Parameters: `path` URI paths that begin with this path will match
`deleteWithRegex` | `shared default Route deleteWithRegex(String regex)` Add a route that matches a HTTP DELETE request and the specified path regex Parameters: `regex` URI paths that begin with a match for this regex will match
`exceptionHandler` | `shared default Router exceptionHandler(Anything(Throwable)? exceptionHandler)` Specify a handler for any unhandled exceptions on this router. The handler will be called for exceptions thrown from handlers. This does not affect the normal failure routing logic. Parameters: `exceptionHandler` the exception handler
`get` | `shared default Route get()` Add a route that matches any HTTP GET request
`get` | `shared default Route get(String path)` Add a route that matches a HTTP GET request and the specified path Parameters: `path` URI paths that begin with this path will match
`getRoutes` | `shared default List<Route> getRoutes()` @return a list of all the routes on this router
`getWithRegex` | `shared default Route getWithRegex(String regex)` Add a route that matches a HTTP GET request and the specified path regex Parameters: `regex` URI paths that begin with a match for this regex will match
`handleContext` | `shared default void handleContext(RoutingContext context)` Used to route a context to the router. Used for sub-routers. You wouldn't normally call this method directly. Parameters: `context` the routing context
`handleFailure` | `shared default void handleFailure(RoutingContext context)` Used to route a failure to the router. Used for sub-routers. You wouldn't normally call this method directly. Parameters: `context` the routing context
`head` | `shared default Route head()` Add a route that matches any HTTP HEAD request
`head` | `shared default Route head(String path)` Add a route that matches a HTTP HEAD request and the specified path Parameters: `path` URI paths that begin with this path will match

`mountSubRouter` | `shared default Router mountSubRouter(String mountPoint, Router subRouter)` Mount a sub router on this router Parameters: `mountPoint` the mount point (path prefix) to mount it on `subRouter` the router to mount as a sub router
`options` | `shared default Route options()` Add a route that matches any HTTP OPTIONS request
`options` | `shared default Route options(String path)` Add a route that matches a HTTP OPTIONS request and the specified path Parameters: `path` URI paths that begin with this path will match
