Why is ApiRouter not just called Router?

[justinclitheroe]

Hey Y'all,

currently adding aide in to a fairly large codebase and was wondering why the wrapper class aide::axum::ApiRouter isn't just Router in the same way that get/post/etc are just drop in replacements? Figure there's a reason I was just wondering what it was

The intent was to make it harder to accidentally expose parts of the API in documentation that you do not intend. route() and api_route() already do this, however they both accept the same arguments and it is easy to accidentally call one over the other.

The distinct router types help making sure that leakages don't happen, you can create regular Routers for the sensitive parts of your application and merge them with the rest.
