React Query is a powerful and flexible data fetching library for React applications. It simplifies the management of remote data by providing hooks for fetching, caching, and updating data with built-in support for pagination, optimistic updates, and automatic refetching. React Query abstracts away the complexities of data fetching, allowing developers to focus on building UI components.
Compared to traditional state management libraries like Redux or MobX, React Query specifically focuses on data fetching and caching, making it a lightweight and efficient solution for handling server-side data in React applications.
