Having multiple sources of truth in any application quickly leads to chaos. One of the primary benefits of Ember.js is that it ruthlessly moves truth about your application state out of the DOM and into JavaScript. The DOM is always just a reflection of the current truth in JavaScript.

The work we’re doing on routing in Ember.js will have a similar effect on keeping truth out of the URL. The URL becomes just a reflection of the current truth in JavaScript. Because state managers allow you define your application state in an encapsulated and semantically rich way, changing how your URLs are built is as easy as changing a few properties on the state objects.
