Basic Routing vs Client-Side Routing

Developers should learn basic routing to build functional web applications that can serve multiple pages, handle form submissions, and create RESTful APIs, as it is a core requirement in frameworks like Express meets developers should learn client-side routing when building modern single-page applications (spas) with frameworks like react, angular, or vue. Here's our take.

Basic Routing

Developers should learn basic routing to build functional web applications that can serve multiple pages, handle form submissions, and create RESTful APIs, as it is a core requirement in frameworks like Express

Basic Routing

Nice Pick

Developers should learn basic routing to build functional web applications that can serve multiple pages, handle form submissions, and create RESTful APIs, as it is a core requirement in frameworks like Express

Pros

  • +js, Django, and Flask
  • +Related to: express-js, django

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Client-Side Routing

Developers should learn client-side routing when building modern single-page applications (SPAs) with frameworks like React, Angular, or Vue

Pros

  • +js, as it enables faster navigation, reduces server load, and improves perceived performance by avoiding full page refreshes
  • +Related to: single-page-applications, react-router

Cons

  • -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Basic Routing if: You want js, django, and flask and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Client-Side Routing if: You prioritize js, as it enables faster navigation, reduces server load, and improves perceived performance by avoiding full page refreshes over what Basic Routing offers.

🧊
The Bottom Line
Basic Routing wins

Developers should learn basic routing to build functional web applications that can serve multiple pages, handle form submissions, and create RESTful APIs, as it is a core requirement in frameworks like Express
