Pattern

regexengine-agnostic

\/[\w\-]+(?:\/(?:\{[\w\-]+\}|[\w\-]+))*\/?   (flags: g)

Raw source: \/[\w\-]+(?:\/(?:\{[\w\-]+\}|[\w\-]+))*\/?

How it works

\/[\w\-]+ matches the first path segment. The repeating group (?:\/(?:\{[\w\-]+\}|[\w\-]+))* matches subsequent segments — either literal text or a `{param}` placeholder. \/? allows an optional trailing slash. Useful for path-to-handler routing tables.
