React Router has evolved significantly since its announcement in May 2019, with the introduction of a new version that leverages React’s Hooks API, making it the primary project over Reach Router, which will only receive bug fixes. The release of React Router v5.1 brought a Hooks-based API to the forefront, simplifying routing with features like useHistory, useNavigate, useLocation, useParams, and useRouteMatch, which provide more convenient ways to handle navigation and URL parameters compared to previous versions. The subsequent release of React Router v6 further enhances the framework by reducing bundle size, improving nested routing, and introducing a new <Routes> API that automatically ranks <Route> elements, thus streamlining the migration process from Reach Router and earlier React Router versions. These updates are designed to encourage cleaner code and less boilerplate, with the promise of ease of use and minimal bloat, while additional APIs and Hooks continue to improve the functionality and responsiveness of web apps.
