+The [App::route](../actix_web/struct.App.html#method.route) method provides
+simple way of registering routes. This method adds a single route to application
+routing table. This method accepts a *path pattern*,
+*http method* and a handler function. `route()` method could be called multiple times
+for the same path, in that case, multiple routes register for the same resource path.

+# extern crate actix_web;
