TanStack Query is a TypeScript/JavaScript library for asynchronous state management and server‑state utilities. It provides declarative APIs for fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating data in web applications.

Use cases

• fetch and cache API data in a React app
• manage server‑state with automatic refetching and background updates
• implement infinite scrolling or pagination with deduped requests
• optimistically update UI after a mutation
• share fetched data across multiple components without duplicate network calls
• prefetch data for route transitions in SPA frameworks

When to choose

• You need a robust data‑fetching layer with built‑in caching and stale‑while‑revalidate semantics.
• Your application heavily relies on server‑state that must stay in sync across components.
• You want framework‑agnostic support (React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, etc.) with a consistent API.
• You prefer TypeScript support and fine‑grained control over query lifecycles.

When to avoid

• You only need simple one‑off fetch calls without caching or background refetching.
• Your project already uses a full state‑management solution that includes data fetching (e.g., Redux Toolkit Query).
• You require a server‑side only solution without a client library.
