## What it is
A React library providing CacheRoute and CacheSwitch components that cache route components instead of unmounting them, similar to Vue's <keep-alive>. It works only with React Router v4/v5 and React v15+.

## Use cases
- preserve form state when navigating away and back
- keep list scroll position when opening a detail page
- avoid refetching data when returning to a cached route
- keep component interaction state across route changes in React Router v5
- implement keep-alive behavior like Vue in a React app

## When to choose
- you use React Router v4 or v5 and need cached routes
- you lose form input or scroll state when switching routes
- you want Vue-style keep-alive semantics in React

## When to avoid
- you use React Router v6 or later (unsupported)
- you only need KeepAlive without routing (use react-activation instead)
- you are starting a new project on modern React Router

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: routing, state-management, caching
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: react-router, keep-alive, react, route-caching, v5-only, nodejs
