How does routing work in frameworks like React and Angular?

Routing in frameworks like React and Angular allows you to navigate between different views or components without reloading the page. In React, you typically use React Router, while Angular has its own built-in router.

Can you explain how to set up routing in React?

Sure! To set up routing in React, you need to install React Router, then wrap your application in a <BrowserRouter> component. You can define routes using the <Route> component.

What about Angular? How do I set up routing there?

In Angular, you set up routing by importing the RouterModule in your app module. You define your routes in an array and use the <router-outlet> directive to display the routed components.

Are there any differences in how routing is handled in these frameworks?

Yes, the main difference lies in their implementation. React Router is more flexible and allows for nested routes, while Angular's router is more opinionated and comes with built-in features like guards and resolvers.
