## What it is
next-routes is a JavaScript library providing Express-style universal dynamic routing for Next.js applications, with route definitions shared between server and client. It is explicitly deprecated and no longer maintained, as modern Next.js has built-in routing.

## Use cases
- add dynamic routes to a Next.js app
- define express-style URL patterns in Next.js
- share route definitions between server and client
- generate URLs from route names in Next.js Link and Router
- use a custom request handler middleware with Next.js

## When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Next.js codebase that already uses next-routes
- working on an old Next.js version without built-in dynamic routing

## When to avoid
- starting a new Next.js project - use the built-in App or Pages Router
- you need maintained, supported routing
- modern Next.js versions, which include native dynamic routing

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: routing, middleware, ssr
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend
- platform: -
- tags: nextjs, react, express, server-rendering, deprecated, nodejs, javascript
