Crossroads.js: JavaScript Routes
The project isn’t that new anymore and was already featured on a couple places but I think I should also create a post just in case someone missed it and also to register the release.
Crossroads is basically a routing system used to map strings to functions (usually URL fragments), it acts similar to a pub/sub (event listener) but uses Regular Expressions and dynamic string patterns to identify listeners. The main feature is the robust and flexible string validation/match/parsing system.
The greatest advantage of Crossroads when compared to other similar libraries is that it is not directly tied to server requests (in case you are using it on the server-side) or to the window.location (if you are on the browser). Another important advantages are the flexibility and the support for advanced use cases, provided by different kinds of validation rules and multiple listeners to each route. – It gives you flexibility to do any kind of action you want and doesn’t do anything you don’t ask it to do.
Check the project page and examples to know more about it. It can be specially helpful for large websites and single page apps – as I mentioned on my previous post.
I hope you enjoy, contributors are welcome.
