If Redux is a heavy tank, Zustand is a sports car. It is a small, fast, and scalable state management solution based on Hooks. It has zero boilerplate and follows the simple philosophy of: "Define a store, use the hook."
<Provider> at the root. This prevents the "Context Re-render" problem.const useStore = create((set) => ({
count: 0,
inc: () => set((state) => ({ count: state.count + 1 })),
}))Q: "How does Zustand prevent unnecessary re-renders compared to Context API?"
Architect Answer: "Context API has a fundamental flaw: when a Provider's value changes, *every* consumer re-renders, even if they only use a piece of the data that didn't change. Zustand uses a **Selector-based Subscription**. You tell the hook exactly which part of the state you want: `const count = useStore(s => s.count)`. If another property in the store changes, your component won't even wake up."
