# Redirect

The `<Redirect>` verb transfers control from the current document to another. It is effectively an exit statement from the current document, as there is no way to return to any instructions listed after the `<Redirect>` verb.

An example message that redirects next XML instruction to another document:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Redirect>https://your-application.com/next-instructions</Redirect>
</Response>
```

**`Node.js`**

```javascript title="Node.js"
const { RestClient } = require("@signalwire/compatibility-api");
const response = new RestClient.LaML.VoiceResponse();

response.redirect("https://your-application.com/next-instructions");
console.log(response.toString());
```

```csharp
using Twilio.TwiML;
using System;


class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var response = new VoiceResponse();
        response.Redirect(new Uri("https://your-application.com/next-instructions"));

        Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
    }
}
```

```python
from signalwire.voice_response import Redirect, VoiceResponse

response = VoiceResponse()
response.redirect('https://your-application.com/next-instructions')

print(response)
```

```ruby
require 'signalwire/sdk'

response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
  response.redirect('https://your-application.com/next-instructions')
end

puts response.to_s
```

from signalwire.voice_response import Redirect, VoiceResponse

response = VoiceResponse()
response.redirect('http://www.somesite.com/NextDoc.xml')

print(response)
```

```ruby
require 'signalwire/sdk'

response = Signalwire::Sdk::VoiceResponse.new do |response|
  response.redirect('http://www.somesite.com/NextDoc.xml')
end
