A jQuery plugin that combines ajax and the HTML5 pushState API to enable fast, partial-page navigation with real URLs, page titles, and working back-button support. It fetches HTML fragments from the server and swaps them into a container element without full page reloads.
Use cases
- speed up page navigation on a server-rendered site without a full SPA rewrite
- keep browser back/forward buttons and permalinks working while loading content via ajax
- serve partial page HTML to avoid re-rendering full layouts
- progressively enhance specific links with pjax using data attributes
- migrate a legacy jQuery site toward faster client-side navigation
When to choose
- you have an existing jQuery-based, server-rendered site and want faster navigation without adopting a full SPA framework
- your server can render partial layouts for pjax requests
- you need real permalinks and history support with ajax-loaded content
When to avoid
- you are starting a new project - modern frameworks or Turbolinks-style libraries are better supported
- you need new features or guaranteed bug fixes - the project is frozen and largely unmaintained
- your stack does not depend on jQuery
