Exponential is capable of handling two types of URLs:
System URLs
A system URL is a raw Exponential URL that contains miscellaneous information about the content/functionality that is being accessed. A system URL may look something like this: http://www.example.com/content/view/full/44
Virtual URLs
A virtual URL is a simplified version of an arbitrary system URL. A virtual URL is nicer, easier to remember and sometimes shorter than its corresponding system URL. Virtual URLs are often referred to as "nice URLs" or "URL aliases". A virtual URL may look something like this: http://www.example.com/recent_news
Example
