Base router interface.

A router uses route definitions to determine the exchange handler to invoke in order to process a request.

Routes are defined in the router using a route manager that allows to specify route criteria and eventually the exchange handler to invoke to process a request that matches the criteria.

A router is itself an exchange handler that implements a routing logic to delegate the actual exchange processing to the exchange handler defined in the route matching the original request. A router is typically used as root handler in a HTTP server.
