React Router is an open source full-stack web framework. The software is designed for web applications built with front-end JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.js.[1] Remix supports server-side rendering and client-side routing.[2] Remix has been presented as an alternative to the popular React framework Next.js.[3]
Initially available through a paid subscription, the software was made open source in October 2021.[4] The team developing Remix (that also developed React Router) was acquired by Shopify in 2022, but has promised that development will stay open-source and "independent".[5][6]
The Remix team announced at React Conf 2024 that the next version Remix v2 will be merged into and released as React Router v7.[7] In November 2024, React Router v7 released, as the next major version of both React Router v6 and Remix v2.[8] Remix v2 was then merged into React Router v7 as the new "Framework Mode", making it capable of creating full-stack applications.[9]
Remix v3 was announced in May 2025, reintroducing a split between the two projects. Unlike Remix v2 and React Router, Remix v3 is not built on React, instead a custom-built component model. The goal of it is to "own the full stack" without depending on any of the existing libraries.[10][11]
