## What it is
React Navigation is a routing and navigation library for React Native and Web apps, providing navigators such as stacks, tabs, and drawers with platform-specific look and feel. It offers type-safe navigation, universal links on mobile, and browser history integration on the web.

## Use cases
- add navigation to a react native app
- implement bottom tabs and drawer navigation in react native
- handle deep links and universal links in a mobile app
- build a pwa with routing in react
- navigate between screens with type-safe params in typescript
- create a stack navigator with native transitions
- integrate browser history routing in a react native web app

## When to choose
- you are building a React Native, Expo, or React Native Web app and need screen routing and navigation
- you want built-in navigators (stack, tabs, drawer) with native-feeling animations and gestures
- you need type-safe navigation and deep/universal link support out of the box
- you want a highly extensible and customizable navigation solution backed by a large community

## When to avoid
- you are building a plain web app with no React Native code, where a web router like React Router may fit better
- you need a fully native navigation architecture with native view controllers rather than a JavaScript-driven navigator
- your project targets very old React Native versions no longer supported by current releases
