[Docs] Explanation: Pick a Router

[brookslybrand]

Describe what's incorrect/missing in the documentation

We need clear guidance on choosing between React Router's different routing approaches: component-based routing (<BrowserRouter>, etc.), data routers (createBrowserRouter, etc.), and framework mode.

You can piece together the information on these different routers in a few places, but it would be good to have a single doc like the v6 doc that simply explains all the options, the differences, and where to go next.

Id love to work on this as my very first open source contribution issue. Want to give back to the library/ framework I love. Where can I get started on contribution guidelines (for setup replication etc.). Looking forward to a response

[Docs]: Incorrect Import in React Router v7 Documentation The official React Router v7 installation guide incorrectly instructs users to install and import react-router instead of react-router-dom. This causes the error:
Module '"react-router"' has no exported member 'BrowserRouter'.
npx create-vite@latest
npm i react-router
import { BrowserRouter } from "react-router"; // ❌ This causes an error
I think someone should update the documentation

@lucnguyen2407 That isn't correct, because we definitely export BrowserRouter from react-router:

react-router/packages/react-router/index.ts

Line 164 in 04a6272

BrowserRouter,
