Its feature is introduced in MVC 5. In pursuance of that the "Route" attribute, we can define the URL structure.

According to the route attribute that the "GotoAbout" can be invoked using the URL structure "Users/about".

```
public class HomeController : Controller
{
       [Route("Users/about")]
       public ActionResult GotoAbout()
       {

       }
}
```
