Universal Router is a JavaScript library for handling routing in web applications, providing a simple and flexible way to define and manage routes for different URL paths. It can be used in both client-side and server-side applications, making it versatile for building universal (isomorphic) JavaScript applications. Universal Router supports dynamic route matching, route parameters, nested routes, and route transitions, allowing for complex routing scenarios.
Compared to other routing libraries like React Router or Vue Router, Universal Router is lightweight, framework-agnostic, and focused solely on routing functionality. It offers a minimalistic approach to routing, making it suitable for projects where a smaller footprint and more control over routing behavior are desired.
