## What it is
A tiny (~2 KB) React router library for modern browsers, using path-to-regexp pattern matching with support for nested routes. It is a lightweight alternative to react-router, not a full replacement.

## Use cases
- add simple client-side routing to a small React app
- replace react-router with a minimal 2 KB router
- match URL paths with parameters like /users/:id
- render nested routes in React
- generate URLs from route patterns and params

## When to choose
- you need a very small router with minimal dependencies
- your routing needs are simple and don't require data loaders or guards
- you want path-to-regexp pattern syntax

## When to avoid
- you need advanced features like nested layouts with outlets, data loading, or navigation blocking
- you want an actively developed router with large community support
- you need server-side routing or history management built in
