+#### Shorcut methods for common request methods
+
+For the `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE` and `HEAD` request methods shortcut methods are available. For example:
+
+```php
+$r->get('/get-route', 'get_handler');
+$r->post('/post-route', 'post_handler');
+```
+
+Is equivalent to:
+
+```php
+$r->addRoute('GET', '/get-route', 'get_handler');
+$r->addRoute('POST', '/post-route', 'post_handler');
+```
