## What it is
JLRoutes is an Objective-C URL routing library for iOS and macOS with a simple block-based API. It makes it easy to register URL patterns with parameters and handle deep links and custom URL schemes in applications.

## Use cases
- handle deep links in an ios app
- route custom url schemes to view controllers
- parse url path parameters like /user/view/:userID
- register block-based handlers for app links
- route urls within a macos application

## When to choose
- you are building an Objective-C or Swift iOS/macOS app that needs deep link handling
- you want a lightweight, minimal-code URL routing solution
- you need pattern matching with named path parameters

## When to avoid
- you need routing for a web backend or non-Apple platform
- you want a Swift-native router with modern async APIs
- the project requires actively maintained dependencies with frequent updates
