## What it is
Crossroads.js is a JavaScript URL routing library inspired by route/dispatch utilities in frameworks like Rails and Django. It parses string input and dispatches actions by matching against multiple route patterns.

## Use cases
- route urls to handlers in a single-page app
- match string patterns and dispatch actions in javascript
- decouple navigation logic from components
- implement hash-based routing without a full framework
- parse url paths with optional parameters

## When to choose
- you need a lightweight standalone router without adopting a full framework
- you want pattern-based string dispatching in node or the browser
- you're maintaining a legacy SPA that already uses it

## When to avoid
- you're starting a modern project where framework routers or newer libraries are better maintained
- you need server-side routing with full HTTP semantics
- you require active community support or recent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: routing, middleware
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: url-routing, javascript, pattern-matching, hash-routing, spa, nodejs
