## What it is
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
