- `:paramName` – matches a URL segment up to the next `/`, `?`, or `#`. The matched string is called a [param](#params)
- `()` – Wraps a portion of the URL that is optional
- `*` – 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](#params)
- `**` - Matches all characters (greedy) until the next `/`, `?`, or `#` and creates a `splat` [param](#params)

Route patterns are relative to the pattern of the parent route unless they begin with a `/`, in which case they begin matching at the beginning of the URL.
