<h4 id="express:router-debug-logs">express:router debug logs</h4>

In Express 5, router handling logic is performed by a dependency. Therefore, the
debug logs for the router are no longer available under the `express:` namespace.
In v4, the logs were available under the namespaces `express:router`, `express:router:layer`,
and `express:router:route`. All of these were included under the namespace `express:*`.
In v5.1+, the logs are available under the namespaces `router`, `router:layer`, and `router:route`.
The logs from `router:layer` and `router:route` are included in the namespace `router:*`.
To achieve the same detail of debug logging when using `express:*` in v4, use a conjunction of
`express:*`, `router`, and `router:*`.

```sh
# v4
DEBUG=express:* node index.js

# v5
DEBUG=express:*,router,router:* node index.js
```
