Class sap.ui.core.routing.RouterModule: sap/ui/core/routing/Router

One way of defining routes is an array:

[
    //Will create a route called 'firstRouter' you can later use this name in navTo to navigate to this route
    {
        name: "firstRoute"
        pattern : "usefulPattern"
    },
    //Will create a route called 'anotherRoute'
    {
        name: "anotherRoute"
        pattern : "anotherPattern"
    }
]

The alternative way of defining routes is an Object. If you choose this way, the name attribute is the name of the property.

{
    //Will create a route called 'firstRouter' you can later use this name in navTo to navigate to this route
    firstRoute : {
        pattern : "usefulPattern"
    },
    //Will create a route called 'anotherRoute'
    anotherRoute : {
        pattern : "anotherPattern"
    }
}

{
    viewType : "XML"
}

{
    xmlTarget : {
        ...
    },
    jsTarget : {
        viewType : "JS"
        ...
    }
}

{
    xmlTarget : {
        viewType : "XML"
        ...
    },
    jsTarget : {
        viewType : "JS"
        ...
    }
}

Since the xmlTarget does not specify its viewType, XML is taken from the config object. The jsTarget is specifying it, so the viewType will be JS.

            pattern: "",

             controlAggregation: "pages"
         }
