Sammy.js is a tiny JavaScript framework built on top of jQuery, inspired by Ruby's Sinatra, providing RESTful, evented routing for single-page applications. It lets developers define get/post routes and custom event-bound routes with chained asynchronous callbacks.

Use cases

• build a single-page app with hash-based routing
• define RESTful routes in the browser like Sinatra
• bind routes to custom application events
• chain multiple async callbacks in a route
• build a lightweight jQuery-based web app without a heavy framework

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy jQuery codebase needing simple client-side routing
• you want a Sinatra-style routing DSL in JavaScript
• you need a tiny framework with minimal footprint

When to avoid

• starting a new modern project - use React, Vue, or a modern router instead
• you need framework features beyond routing like state management or components
• you want actively maintained software with current browser support
