Introduction
============

TYPO3 uses routes to generate `speaking URLs <https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/Routing/AdvancedRoutingConfiguration.html>`_ since version 9. Up to TYPO3 8.7 the extension *realurl* by Dmitry Dulepov was used.
*realurl* stored pathsegments of different fields in the database table *tx_realurl_uniqalias*.
