## What it is
Navigo is a simple, dependency-free vanilla JavaScript router for single-page applications, built on the History API with hash-based routing support. It offers parameterized routes, navigation hooks, and easy integration with HTML links via a data attribute.

## Use cases
- add client-side routing to a vanilla JS single-page app
- map URL routes to handler functions without a framework
- support parameterized routes like /user/:id
- handle hash-based routing in a static site
- run before/after/leave hooks on route changes
- intercept anchor links with data-navigo for SPA navigation

## When to choose
- you need a tiny (~4KB gzipped) dependency-free router
- you're building a vanilla JS or lightweight SPA without React/Vue/Angular
- you want both History API and hash-based routing
- you need simple route hooks and a not-found handler

## When to avoid
- you're using React and want an idiomatic router (consider navigo-react or React Router)
- you need advanced features like nested routes, route guards, or SSR
- you want a heavily maintained project with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: routing, web-framework
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: vanilla-javascript, history-api, hash-routing, spa-router, dependency-free, nodejs
