What's the difference between GA pageview and screenview?

I was wondering what's the difference between pageview and screenview.

This GA library vue-analytics 's trackView methods use screenview.

That's confusing to me.

And I have seen people track pageview and screenview at the same time(each route will send these two)

So what's the difference between these two?

Screenview in Google Analytics represent content users are viewing within an app. The equivalent concept for a website is pageview. Measuring screen views allows you to see which content is being viewed most by your users, and how are they are navigating between different pieces of content.

Until some time ago there was a dedicated Property for app interactions, where to send the screenview and which had slightly different reports from the Property for the web. This Property has been deprecated. Now the apps use Firebase Analytics:

To get web and mobile app interactions there is a new Analytics Property based on a new data model, which is called: App + Web:
