By default the URLs created by`SimpleRouter` uses_regexs_ to build urls. This behavior can be modified by setting the`use_regex_path` argument to`False` when instantiating the router, in this case[path converters][path-convertes-topic-reference] are used. For example:

**Note**:`use_regex_path=False` only works with Django 2.x or above, since this feature was introduced in 2.0.0. See[release note][simplified-routing-release-note]

This router is similar to`SimpleRouter` as above, but additionally includes a default API root view, that returns a response containing hyperlinks to all the list views. It also generates routes for optional`.json` style format suffixes.
