## What it is
Navi is a declarative, asynchronous routing library for React that maps URLs to data and views using functions, promises, and async/await. It includes React components and hooks with Suspense support, plus a static HTML generation tool for SEO that works with create-react-app without ejecting.

## Use cases
- route urls to async data in a react app
- pre-render react app pages as static html for seo
- build a react blog with filesystem-based routes
- use async/await to load route data before rendering
- add code splitting and suspense-based routing to react
- integrate a react router alongside react-router

## When to choose
- you need asynchronous data loading tied directly to routes in react
- you want static html generation for seo without ejecting from create-react-app
- you prefer declarative route definitions with promises over component-level data fetching

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - the library is explicitly unmaintained
- you need long-term support, security patches, or react version compatibility guarantees
- you want an actively maintained router like react-router or tanstack router

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: routing, ssr, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: react, react-router, async-routing, static-site-generation, seo, suspense, unmaintained, typescript, nodejs, web-server
