When to choose which
react-redux
Official React bindings for Redux — not a store by itself.
Choose it when: Whenever you use Redux/RTK in React. It connects the store to components; pair it with Redux Toolkit.
- + Official & optimized
- + Hooks API (useSelector/useDispatch)
- - Useless without a Redux store
- - Adds a provider
@rematch/core
Redux reimagined around models, no boilerplate.
Choose it when: You like Redux semantics but want models with built-in effects and far less setup.
- + Model-based, low boilerplate
- + Redux devtools
- + Framework-agnostic
- - Small community
- - Less active than RTK
