Preferred client side routing solution?

rated 0 times [ 200] [ 7] / answers: 1 / hits: 41384 / 13 Years ago, sat, june 11, 2011, 12:00:00

I am designing a one page browser based web application.

JQuery is already being used in my application. I am currently planning to use KnockoutJS for data-binding and UI management. However I have used Backbone.js in past, and I have been quite impressed with the routing facilities provided by the controller layer.

I have also looked into some JQuery-based solution like pathjs for client side routing.

It would be great if someone could offer suggestions and guidelines for choosing a proper routing system.

I am not willing to use Backbone.js instead of KnockoutJS because of the excellent data-binding facilities of KnockoutJS.

After going through a bit of exploration I have found the solution.
@Eisenhauer Backbone's routing facilities are awesome, but what if I am not using Backbone.
As I outlined in my question, I am already using KnockoutJS that provides me a client side MVVM model and so its not really a good idea to put an additional MVC implementation in the same page.

For people looking for a standalone routing solution, pathjs is a simple and elegant solution.

A more flexible, powerful and standalone routing solution is Crossroads.js available at http://millermedeiros.github.com/crossroads.js/.
It is very nicely documented and really powerful,so can be adapted to any set of requirements.
