page.js is a tiny Express-inspired client-side router for single-page applications, supporting route parameters, middleware chains, and the HTML5 History API. It is framework-agnostic and can be loaded via npm, CDN, or ES modules.

Use cases

• add client-side routing to a single-page app
• define routes with URL parameters like /user/:id
• chain middleware-style callbacks on route handlers
• handle 404 routes in a SPA
• build a router without pulling in a full framework

When to choose

• you want a minimal, dependency-free router for a vanilla JS or framework-agnostic SPA
• you prefer Express-style route definitions and middleware chaining
• you need a tiny router loadable via CDN or script tag

When to avoid

• you are using React, Vue, or Angular and want a router integrated with the framework's ecosystem
• you need server-side rendering or file-based routing
• you need a project with active development and guaranteed long-term maintenance
