Hierarchical resources

Resource name is relative path, which can have multiple path segments. Base path is absolute path. A listener can have multiple services each with different base paths.

 
import ballerina/http;

service /demo on new http:Listener(8080) {

Base path of this service is /demo.

    resource function get greeting/hello(string name) returns string {
        return "Hello, " + name;
    }

You can combine base path and relative path to get the path of the resource, that is /demo/greeting/hello.
