Zustand is a small, fast, and scalable state management library for React based on simplified flux principles, with a hook-based API and no provider boilerplate. It handles common React pitfalls like zombie children, concurrency, and context loss between mixed renderers.

Use cases

• manage global state in a react app without boilerplate
• replace redux with a simpler hook-based store
• share state between react components without context providers
• create a store as a custom hook with actions and state
• selectively re-render components on state slices
• handle state in react concurrent mode safely

When to choose

• you want minimal, unopinionated state management for React
• you need a tiny bundle size and hook-based API
• you want to avoid providers and boilerplate of redux or context
• you need reliable behavior with React concurrency and mixed renderers

When to avoid

• you need a full state management ecosystem with devtools middleware, sagas, and strict conventions
• your app is not React-based
• you prefer normalized entity stores with heavy tooling like redux toolkit
