## What it is
A small example project demonstrating how to implement client-side routing in Vue 2.0 applications without the vue-router library, using the raw HTML5 History API. It serves as a reference for developers who want lightweight routing or to understand how routing works under the hood.

## Use cases
- learn how to do routing in Vue without vue-router
- see an example of using the HTML5 History API with Vue 2
- understand how vue-router works internally
- build a minimal Vue 2 app with simple page navigation
- find a lightweight alternative to vue-router for small projects
- study a Vue 2 single-page application setup with webpack and vue-loader

## When to choose
- you want to learn routing fundamentals in Vue 2 without abstractions
- your app is small enough that vue-router feels like overkill
- you need a minimal reference implementation of History API-based routing

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new project with Vue 3 or modern tooling
- you need full-featured routing like nested routes, guards, or lazy loading
- you want a maintained production dependency rather than an educational example
