React-Router : What is the purpose of IndexRoute?

In the top example, going to / would render App with Home passed as a child. In the bottom example, going to / would render App with neither Home nor About being rendered, since neither of their paths match.

For older versions of React Router, more information is available on associated version’s Index Routes and Index Links page. Starting in version 4.0, React Router no longer uses the IndexRoute abstraction to achieve the same goal.
