WordPress URL handling is data-centric. That is a certain URL is matched to a rewrite rule, and is turned into query variables, which explain to WP which data to query in database and present.
If you are considering migrating another site to WordPress you would have two typical options:
-
Migrate the data to native WP data types, such as custom post types and taxonomies. In this case you get URLs working “for free”.
-
Integrate alternate data structures/source into WP site. In this case you preserve data as is, but you would need to spend significant effort to implement custom rewrite rules and how should WP retrieve the data from custom sources.
