Vue Router is the official client-side routing library for Vue.js, providing expressive route definitions, navigation guards, and history mode support. It maps URL routes to Vue components and controls navigation behavior in single-page applications.

Use cases

• add client-side routing to a Vue single-page app
• define dynamic routes with params for a Vue app
• guard routes with authentication checks before navigation
• control scroll behavior when navigating between pages
• choose between HTML5, hash, or memory history modes
• lazy-load route components for code splitting

When to choose

• you are building a Vue.js SPA or SSR app that needs URL-based navigation
• you want the officially supported router with deep Vue integration
• you need fine-grained navigation control with per-route guards

When to avoid

• your project uses React, Angular, or Svelte rather than Vue
• you are building a multi-page server-rendered site without client-side routing
• you need a full backend routing framework rather than a browser-side router
