as discussed on twitter a while ago, i am looking into writing a cookbook article on additional things / alternatives to the standard symfony router. i post a sketch for the article here and hope we can discuss it a bit before i write it out in detail:

• Review routing component documentationclarify the routing component documentation a bit #6023
  • Routing is not complicated: RequestMatcherInterface: Request => array with routing information
• Reviewhttp://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/routing/custom_route_loader.html (those routes are still cached in prod environment)clarify custom route loader documentation #6022
• Translating routes for multilanguage sites
  • i18n routers to translate URLs (https://packagist.org/search/?q=i18n-routing => jms, besimple, any others to mention?)
• Integrating a custom router with symfonymention CMF ChainRouter, restructure documentation for extending routing #6020
  • CMF ChainRouter when you write your own router. e.g. legacy application
• Looking up routes dynamically from a database (fixlinking to the cmf routing component #2186)mention routing from the database #6021
  • Routes from a database: CMF DynamicRouter. do not need to clear route cache on each edit. if the URL has an index, matching should be almost O(1) even for large number of routes
