## 1. What is Vue Router?

**Answer**

Vue Router is the official routing library for Vue.js. It enables creating single-page applications with navigation between different views without page reloads. Vue Router manages browser history, URL parameters and provides advanced features like navigation guards to control route access.

## 2. What is the main advantage of using router-link instead of an <a> tag?

**Answer**

The router-link component prevents full page reloads during navigation, unlike a standard <a> tag. It intercepts clicks to perform client-side navigation using the browser's History API. This preserves application state and provides a smooth user experience without loading latency.

## 3. How to define a simple route in Vue Router?

**Answer**

A simple route is defined by creating an object with path and component properties in the routes array. The path indicates the URL (like /about) and component specifies the Vue component to display. This minimal configuration is sufficient to create functional navigation in the application.
