Routing is the core engine that transforms a collection of components into a cohesive application. It manages the user's journey through your site's content.

1The SPA Advantage

Traditional websites reload the entire page every time you click a link. This is slow and resets the application's state. In an Angular SPA, the main HTML page is loaded only once. The Router then intercepts URL changes and dynamically updates the DOM by adding or removing components. This results in a seamless, lightning-fast user experience that feels like a native mobile app.

2Client-Side Navigation

When you use routerLink, Angular's routing engine takes over. It updates the browser's history API (so the back button still works!) and looks up the corresponding component in your configuration. It then destroys the old component and instantiates the new one inside the <router-outlet>. All of this happens instantly without a single trip back to the server for a new HTML file.
