Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps, commonly used with libraries like React or Angular for managing application state. It provides a centralized store to manage the entire state of an application, making it easier to track changes and maintain consistency across components. Redux follows a unidirectional data flow pattern, enhancing predictability and ease of debugging in complex applications.
Compared to other state management solutions like MobX or Context API, Redux offers a strict and structured approach to state management, which can be beneficial for larger applications with complex data flow requirements.
