Wouter is a tiny (~2KB) hook-based routing library for React and Preact applications. It provides familiar Route, Link, Switch, and Redirect components plus hooks like useLocation and useRoute, with no required top-level Router component.
Use cases
- add client-side routing to a React SPA
- replace react-router with a much smaller bundle
- use routing in a Preact app
- do route matching with hooks for custom navigation or animations
- build a minimal single-page app without heavy dependencies
When to choose
- bundle size matters and you only need basic routing
- you prefer a hooks-first API over component-heavy routers
- you use React or Preact and want zero-dependency routing
When to avoid
- you need advanced features like nested layouts, data loaders, or route-based code splitting out of the box
- you need SSR framework-integrated routing like Next.js file-based routing
- your team already relies on React Router's ecosystem and patterns
