By "traditional server-structure URL path mentality", do you mean the mapping of URLs directly to static files on the filesystem? If so, I'd argue that's a separate issue from SPA vs. MPA. After all, most MPA frameworks, like Django and Rails, break that equivalence. URLs map to controllers, rather than particular templates.
- bduerst 12y agoI meant the mentality, which started with URL static file mapping and continued with web routing. Not all URL path routing is bad, but with SPAs you get more focus on what the customer uses URLs for (i.e. URL paths for sharing a picture, etc.) rather than parsing page functionality out across different paths. It's my opinion this URL simplicity makes a better user experience, but that's just my opinion.
