 **No more server crashes:** You can set a [Panic handler][Router.PanicHandler] to deal with panics occurring during handling a HTTP request. The router then recovers and lets the `PanicHandler` log what happened and deliver a nice error page.
 
+**Perfect for APIs:** The router design encourages to build sensible, hierarchical RESTful APIs. Moreover it has builtin native support for [OPTIONS requests](http://zacstewart.com/2012/04/14/http-options-method.html) and `405 Method Not Allowed` replies.
+
 Of course you can also set **custom [`NotFound`][Router.NotFound] and  [`MethodNotAllowed`](https://godoc.org/github.com/julienschmidt/httprouter#Router.MethodNotAllowed) handlers** and [**serve static files**][Router.ServeFiles].
