alibaba/ARouter

ARouter is an Android componentization framework that enables URL-based navigation, dependency injection, and service discovery. It utilizes compile-time annotation processing and bytecode generation to automatically register routes and interceptors, eliminating manual configuration. The system provides a modular API for managing activities, services, and providers with support for custom interceptors, animations, and serialization.

  • The score is its highest published measurement, taken on 2 August 2026 at a pinned commit. It is not a live figure and does not change until the project is measured again.
  • Measured at commit 60e6b63c6d — the exact code this score is about.
  • Scored under rubric rubric-2026.08.18. Score the same commit under that rubric and you get the same number.
