React-router: What`s the difference between handler and component in Route props

[hi-zhaolei]

I saw some demo in web and found the Route component has two props to define the componet name when path matched.
some of them use _handler_ and others use _component_.
Just like this

<Route path="home" name="home" handler={Home} />
// or
<Route path="home" name="home" component={Home} />

which one is correct?
I saw the docs. Buy no mention.
THK.

handler is deprecated in v1.0, you should use component.
