- View engine: Also called a "template library" or "templater", ie. a library that implements view functionality, and potentially also a custom language for specifying it (like Pug does).
- HTML templater: A template library that's designed specifically for generating HTML.

The way we recommend handling redirects has changed in React Router v6. This document explains why.
In React Router v4/5 (they have the same API, you can read about why we had to bump the major version here) we had a <Redirect> component that you could use to tell the router when to automatically redirect to another URL. You might have used it like this:
