PathJS is a lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library for client-side routing in single page applications, supporting both hashbang routes and HTML5 pushState. It offers parameterized and dynamic routes, root routes, rescue methods, and enter callbacks with graceful degradation across older browsers.

Use cases

• build a single page application with hash-based routing
• handle client-side routes without a heavy framework
• use HTML5 pushState routing in vanilla JavaScript
• define parameterized routes like #/users/:id
• add a fallback rescue route for unmatched URLs
• run route enter callbacks for page transitions

When to choose

• you need a tiny, framework-agnostic client-side router for a simple SPA
• you must support legacy browsers with graceful degradation
• you want hashbang or pushState routing without any dependencies

When to avoid

• you are using a modern framework like React, Vue, or Angular that ships its own router
• you need actively maintained software with a license file and recent releases
• you need server-side routing or SSR
