The above title is meant to be a bit of a pun on the routing ecosystem around React and React Native. I also use the word diversity because one is characterized by a strong incumbent, and the other is plagued by rapid change.
The top dog in navigation libraries here is React Router. They have the benefit of several years of active development, along with an active community submitting PR’s, fixes, etc. It is also widely used and as a result, you end up with a well-supported, stable product.
This ecosystem is frontier territory in that various navigation libraries exist such as:
The big issue with NavigationExperimental is that it is somewhat lightweight and doesn't include a lot of common navigation situations out of the box, like sidebars, tab bars, headers, etc. and one of the solutions that the community came up with has a really long tongue-twisting name:
Like I said, React Native is frontier territory with navigation libraries and there are more developments to come.
By the way, I create video tutorials on Reactjs that will walk you through topics such as routing. Check it out here: MicroUrb
