<p>When it comes to selecting a global state management solution for React, developers have plenty of options to consider. For a long time, Redux has been a popular choice among developers.

All That Happening an important question arise, which one should I use?</p>
<p><strong>When deciding between using Context API or Redux</strong></p>
<p>If you’re using Redux just to avoid passing props, you can switch to Context API instead. Context API is perfect for sharing small bits of information between components. On the other hand, Redux is more powerful and comes with helpful features that Context API doesn’t have. It’s great for managing big chunks of data and handling requests to APIs.</p>
