Description

The WordPress Rewrite class writes the rewrite module rules to the .htaccess file. It also handles parsing the request to get the correct setup for the WordPress Query class.

The Rewrite along with WP class function as a front controller for WordPress.
You can add rules to trigger your page view and processing using this component. The full functionality of a front controller does not exist, meaning you can’t define how the template files load based on the rewrite rules.
