It was initially a Regex-only project so it was quite different. Then I added path-to-regex and forgot to check if there was some library out there similar so now they are quite similar.

However I can see a couple of important differences:

1. The parameters are passed to the callback in pagex which makes it cleaner:

    pagex('/users/:id/:frag?', function(id, frag = 'profile'){ ... });

While with page.js you have to retrieve them manually:

    pagex('users/:id/:frag?', function(ctx){ var id = ctx[0], frag = ctx[1] });

2. You can negate the url. For instance, if you want something to run in all pages except in the users page:

    pagex('/users', true, function(){ ... });

3. [undocumented, not-official] There is a before and after catch-all which can be useful for debugging, analytics or similar

Quick tip, instead of passing true here, having an options object improves readability. As somebody who's never seen it before, the following does the opposite of what I expect:

  pagex('/users', true, function(){ ... });

But _this_ is more readable—communicates exactly what I need to know, and requires no previous knowledge of the library:

  pagex('/users', { negate: true }, function(){ ... });

Thanks for sharing your library, I love how you've put the ergonomics of use first. :)

I am totally going to do that, but haven't got around to do it yet. This will also add a bit of flexibility (much needed) about how to pass options.
