    Pros and cons. What Vue Router does well, and what to expect.

    Pros

    • Official router with full Vue team support.
    • Excellent documentation and examples.
    • Nested routes and lazy loading native.
    • Navigation guards for simple authentication.
    • Built-in view transitions.
    • MIT licensed and fully open source.

    Cons

    • Limited to Vue applications (not framework-agnostic).
    • Less type-safe than modern routers like TanStack Router.
    • Configuration can be verbose for very complex routes.
    • Fewer features than Nuxt for full-stack.

    When it makes sense. Keep Vue Router, or challenge it?

    Keep if

    • You're building a Single Page Application (SPA) with Vue.js.
    • You need declarative URL management and navigation.

    Challenge if

    • You use Nuxt.js (Nuxt handles routing).
    • You're building a very simple app with few routes.
