State Management IN ReaCT

Why State Management Matters

```
Applications grow complex
```
```
Data becomes scattered
```
```
Consistency becomes crucial
```
```
Predictability matters
```

React Context

A built-in API for sharing data across components without prop drilling.

React Context: Pros

```

```
```
Composability
```
```
Community Support
```

React Context: Cons

```
Performance
```
```
Complexity
```
```
Debugging
```
```
Testing
```

Redux

Redux: The Established Powerhouse

```
Unidirectional data flow
```
```
Predictable state updates
```
```
Robust ecosystem and tooling
```
```
