Description: Hash routing is a routing method that uses the hash portion of the URL to manage navigation in web applications. This approach allows applications to handle navigation without needing to reload the page, resulting in a smoother and faster user experience. Instead of relying on traditional routes that require server interaction, hash routing uses the fragment of the URL that follows the ‘#’ symbol to identify different views or components within the application. This means that changes in the URL do not trigger a request to the server, reducing the load on it and improving the application’s efficiency. Additionally, hash routing is compatible with older browsers, making it an accessible option for a wide range of users. However, its use may have limitations in terms of SEO, as search engines may not properly index URLs containing hashes. Despite this, hash routing remains a popular technique in web development due to its simplicity and effectiveness in managing internal navigation.
