Expo Router is the first and most popular file-based framework for building high-quality apps that run natively on Android, iOS, and the web—a universal React framework. Having grown to become the standard framework for React Native development, it leads the way in cross-platform development, ushering in new and novel patterns for building high-quality native apps such as typed routing, universal React Server Components, DOM components, automatic deep linking, and more.
At Expo, we are deeply committed to helping developers build and ship the highest-quality native apps and websites to as many users as possible. Expo Router sits at the forefront of that mission, providing developers with game-changing techniques—that are informed by the open-source community, our users, and personal experience in app development.
Develop software for the Expo Router project and associated tooling such as Expo CLI, Metro bundler, React Navigation, Expo web, and EAS Hosting.

Each person on the team has a lot of flexibility and autonomy to work the way that works the best for them.
