WordPress's rewrite rules and query variables provide a powerful system for mapping URL strings to collections of posts. Every request is parsed into query variables and turned into a SQL query via $wp_query->query().

Sometimes, though, you don't want to display a list of posts. You just want a URL to map to a callback function, with the output displayed in place of posts in whatever theme you happen to be using.

That's where WP Router comes in. It handles all the messy bits of registering post types, query variables, rewrite rules, etc., and lets you write code to do what you want it to do. One function call is all it takes to map a URL to your designated callback function and display the return value in the page.
