Both BrowserRouter and HashRouter are types of Routers provided by React Router, but they differ mainly in how they manage URLs.

Feature	BrowserRouter	HashRouter
URL Structure	Clean URLs (/about)	URLs with hash (/#/about)
History Management	Uses HTML5 history API	Uses URL hash for storing routes
Server Configuration	Needs server-side setup (e.g., fallback to index.html)	No server setup required
Use Case	Modern web apps with server support	Static file servers, GitHub Pages
SEO Friendliness	Better SEO (search engines can index clean URLs)	Not ideal for SEO

Example:

• BrowserRouter: https://example.com/about
• HashRouter: https://example.com/#/about

Summary: Use BrowserRouter if your server is configured properly; use HashRouter when you don’t control the server (like GitHub Pages).
