The Express v5 release update no longer supports “sub-expression” regular expressions. This release includes simplified patterns for common route patterns. With the removal of regular expression semantics comes other small but impactful changes to how you write your routes.
1. :name? becomes {:name}. Usage of {} for optional parts of your route means you can now do things like /base{/:optional}/:required and what parts are actually optional is much more explicit.
2. * becomes *name.

This works only for Express version 5.0.0 or higher, the actual "package.json" file will need a change too if this commit is merged!
