 Trailing slashes are conventional in Django, but are not used by default in some other frameworks such as Rails.  Which style you choose to use is largely a matter of preference, although some javascript frameworks may expect a particular routing style.

For a more restrictive (or lenient) lookup pattern, set the `lookup_value_regex` attribute on the viewset or `lookup_value_converter` if using path converters.  For example, you can limit the lookup to valid UUIDs:
 
     class MyModelViewSet(mixins.RetrieveModelMixin, viewsets.GenericViewSet):

 ## DefaultRouter
 
 This router is similar to `SimpleRouter` as above, but additionally includes a default API root view, that returns a response containing hyperlinks to all the list views.  It also generates routes for optional `.json` style format suffixes.
