## Description

Router.js is a client-side JavaScript routing library designed for single-page applications. It maps browser URL patterns to named handlers and manages hierarchical route states, allowing applications to construct nested user interfaces and share parent contexts across child transitions. 

The library coordinates state changes through promise-based asynchronous transition management, waiting for model data to resolve and lifecycle hooks to execute before entering a target route. It supports URL parsing and generation, component navigation, and event bubbling that propagates triggered actions backward through parent route handlers for shared logic propagation and method overriding.

Transitions can be intercepted to handle request aborts, redirection flows, and centralized error recovery during navigation states.
