Play framework Reverse Routing

What exactly is reverse routing in play framework? I am new to Java and currently working on java play framework. I've read the play framework documentation but don't get any idea of reverse routing. Please help.

Routing is the process that will transform an http request's method and path into a controller call.

Reverse-routing is the opposite, it allows you to get a method and path from a controller call.

For example, when the browser sends GET /api/user/login, the router triggers a call to controllers.user.login(). Now the reverse router helps you when you wonder: how to have the browser make a call to controllers.user.login(), the reverse router will basically answer you: GET /api/user/login.
