## Extra Routes

The Extra Routes feature allows you to define additional routes by using .yml or .yaml files stored in a specified directory.

This approach helps you avoid the complexity of managing all routes in a single file.

When dealing with many routes, maintaining them in one file can quickly become unwieldy. With this feature, you can organize your routes into separate files, making them easier to manage and maintain.
