Web application developers use URL Rewrite Rules to hide parameters in the URL directory structure and is typically used to make it easier for search engines to index all the pages on a website. Another advantage of using URL rewriting technology is that all symbols such as question marks and equal signs are not used in URLs, thus making URLs easy to remember.
