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, synchronizing, and updating data from various sources like REST APIs, GraphQL endpoints, and more. React Query offers features like automatic caching, background data fetching, pagination support, and query invalidation, making it easy to handle complex data requirements in React applications.
Compared to traditional state management libraries like Redux or MobX, React Query focuses specifically on data fetching and caching, resulting in simpler and more efficient data management. It is actively maintained, with regular updates and a growing community of users.
