    Our take

    Understanding React Router.

    React Router is the most used routing library in the React ecosystem. It handles navigation, nested routes, URL parameters and code splitting.

    Practical uses

    • Multi-page navigation in a React SPA
    • Protected routesAuthentication
    • RoutingDynamic parameters

    Pros and cons

    What React Router does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

    Pros

    • De facto standard for React routing
    • Nested routes and layout routes
    • Built-in code splitting
    • React Native compatible

    Cons

    • API changed significantly between v5 and v6
    • Less typed than TanStack Router
    • No server state management

    React Router: when it makes sense.

    Obligatoire pour toute SPA React multi-pages hors Next.js.

    Keep if

    Tu construis une app React avec plusieurs pages. Tu veux le standard de l'industrie avec grande communauté

    Challenge if

    Tu utilises Next.js (routing intégré). Tu veux un routing TypeScript-first (TanStack Router)

    Our verdict on React Router.

    Why this verdict

    Very good

    React Router is hard to replace short-term, a free tier to test before paying, clearly documented use cases.
