# Routex: Supercharge your Phoenix Router
This powerful library works together with Phoenix Router to provide the ultimate
routing solution. It simplifies route manipulation, giving you the control you
need to handle even the most demanding routing requirements.
Routex comes with extensions for internationalization (i18n), localization
(l10n), translated (multilingual) URLs, alternative routes generation and [many
more](docs/EXTENSION_SUMMARIES.md). Its modern extensible architecture enables you to easily
build custom solutions that work harmoniously with other extensions.
## Top Features and Benefits
* **No dependencies, no state**: Routex is unique in not requiring any external dependency
and works *by default* without proces state.
* **Powerful transformations**: Routex supports advanced route transformations, including
everything needed for internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n).
* **Extension driven**: Being extension driven, Routex can be adapted to your
specific needs. It's architecture allows you to write your own routing
features without having to worry about breaking existing functionality. Routex
ships with extensions covering a wide range of use cases.
Have a look at [a summary of extensions](docs/EXTENSION_SUMMARIES.md).
* **Optimized for performance**: Built to fit between route configuration and
route compilation. Routex enhances Phoenix routing without adding runtime
overhead, ensuring that applications run as fast as ever.
* **Detailed documentation**: Comprehensive, well-organized documentation
provides clear guidance on installation, configuration, and best practices,
making Routex approachable for developers at all levels. For example: If you
are interested in internationalization (i18n) or localization (l10n) have a
look at the [Localized Routes Guide](docs/guides/LOCALIZED_ROUTES.md).
