"React Router was first released in November 2014 by Michael Jackson (not that M.J.) and Ryan Florence. At the time, most React developers were still figuring out how to handle navigation in single-page apps without resorting to low-level history manipulation. React Router provided a simple alternative. It lets you declare routes as JSX elements, which fit naturally into React's component model and way of thinking."
"Over the years, the library evolved and added features like nested routing, dynamic parameters, and lazy loading before most other React frameworks caught up. In 2021, v6 introduced an API redesign that improved route nesting, reduced bundle size, and improved type safety. Meanwhile, Michael and Ryan were also working on a new project called Remix that would push routing concepts even further. That parallel effort set the stage for React Router's biggest shift."
"Remix began life as a full-stack web framework built on top of React Router. While React Router focused on the client-side navigation layer, Remix added file-based routing, Server-Side Rendering (SSR) out of the box, data loading and mutation APIs tied directly to routes, and many other features. If React Router were the engine, Remix would be a complete car bu"
React Router v7 introduces three new modes, a deep integration of Remix concepts, and optional file-based routing rather than enforcing it. File-based routing is available as a mode but remains opt-in, giving teams flexibility to choose their routing approach. React Router originated in 2014 to simplify single-page app navigation by letting developers declare routes as JSX elements. The library evolved with nested routing, dynamic parameters, lazy loading, and a v6 redesign that improved nesting, bundle size, and type safety. Remix contributed SSR, route-tied data APIs, and file-based routing, influencing v7's design choices.
