When to choose which
easy-peasy
Redux power with a friendlier, low-boilerplate API.
Choose it when: You want Redux's devtools and structure without the ceremony — but consider RTK first for ecosystem size.
- + Redux devtools, less boilerplate
- + Built-in thunks
- - Smaller community than RTK
- - Abstraction over Redux
@tanstack/react-query
Async server-state: caching, refetching and mutations.
Choose it when: Managing data from an API — caching, background refetch, pagination, mutations. It complements (not replaces) a client store.
- + Best-in-class server cache
- + Great devtools
- + Handles refetch/stale data
- - Not for client/UI state
- - More config than SWR
