I think it's done here: https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/development/components/router-dispatcher/#router-and-dispatcher

right @matks ?

So

• router ✅
• dispatcher ✅

Routing: wdyt ? is it clear, for new PrestaShop users, how to create a new FO route ? a new BO legacy route ? a new BO Symfony route ?

Should we also document URL rewriting (how to use it and how it works internally) ?

I don't think so, many developers don't know about hookModuleRoutes and that they can use it to create custom routing, for the Symfony routes we have some information already: https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/controllers/admin-controllers/route-generation/#generate-a-symfony-route-from-a-module

Should we also document URL rewriting (how to use it and how it works internally) ?

Hmmm, maybe for the legacy part? We have some information already https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/controllers/front-controllers/#front-controllers but no precise information on how PrestaShop can determine whether we want to display CMS, Module, or Product for example.
