<h2 id="_description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<div class="sectionbody">
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_http_handler_set_tree()</code> function causes the <em>handler</em> to be matched if the request URI sent
by the client is a logical child of the path for <em>handler</em>, and no more specific
<em>handler</em> has been registered.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The <code>nng_http_handler_set_tree_exclusive()</code> function is similar to <code>nng_http_server_set_tree()</code>
with the distinction that the <em>handler</em> will be considered to <strong>exclusively</strong> handle its request URI.
Unlike <code>nng_http_server_set_tree()</code>, it will not be possible to register additional
handlers in logical subdirectories of <em>handler</em>.</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>This is useful in cases when the handler would like to examine the entire path
and possibly behave differently; for example a REST API that uses the rest of
the path to pass additional parameters.</p>
</div>
<div class="admonitionblock tip">

<tr>
<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
These methods are useful when constructing API handlers where a single
service address (path) supports dynamically generated children.

<div class="admonitionblock tip">

<td class="icon">
<i class="fa icon-tip" title="Tip"></i>
</td>
<td class="content">
The non-exclusive form is also useful for providing a default handler to be
generated when a more specific child does not exist.
This can provide a better experience for users than the standard 404 error
handling.
