## What it is
React Hook Form is a lightweight, dependency-free React library for managing form state and validation using custom hooks, supporting both React web and React Native. It minimizes re-renders through uncontrolled components and integrates with schema validators like Zod, Yup, Joi, and AJV via its resolvers package.

## Use cases
- manage form state in React apps with minimal re-renders
- validate forms with Zod or Yup schemas
- build dynamic forms with add/remove fields
- handle forms in React Native apps
- integrate forms with UI component libraries
- build large multi-step forms with shared form context

## When to choose
- you need performant forms in React or React Native with minimal re-renders
- you want schema-based validation with Zod, Yup, Joi, or AJV
- you want a tiny, zero-dependency form library with strong TypeScript support
- you need dynamic field arrays or controlled component integration

## When to avoid
- your project does not use React
- you prefer fully controlled form state managed in a global store like Redux
- you need framework-agnostic forms outside the React ecosystem
