JRouter, the Joomla CMS and writing your own SEO components[edit]
JRouter is an abstract class of the Joomla Framework. The Joomla CMS is a concrete application, using the Joomla Framework. Thus, they have created their own concrete Router class, which handles routes. This concrete Router is called JRouterSite and can be found in includes/router.php.
If you take a look at the private _buildSefRoute method of this class, you'll quickly realise that the Joomla Developers allow you to create your own custom routing handlers for each of your components. This way you can make your components SEO friendly. If you want to learn how to write such an handler, take a look Supporting SEF URLs in your component and visit the section The Component Router
