## Notes

Expo Router is a file-based router for React Native apps and web applications, developed in the Expo open-source repository. It is built on React Native and lets one set of routes run on Android, iOS and the web. A new project is created with create-expo-app. For the web, an app can be exported as static HTML and CSS files, or rendered by a server on each request. Static output can be served from almost any host, while the server mode runs as a server process that renders each page when it is requested.

## Worth knowing

EAS Hosting is a separate service from Expo for deploying web projects built with Expo Router. This record does not cover it.
