Vue Router is the official router for Vue.js. It deeply integrates with Vue.js core to make building Single Page Applications with Vue.js a breeze. Features include nested routes mapping, dynamic routing, modular component-based router configuration, route params, query, wildcards, view transition effects, fine-grained navigation control, links with automatic active CSS classes, HTML5 history mode or hash mode, customizable scroll behavior, and proper encoding for URLs.
