Unstated is a tiny React state management library that shares component-like state across the component tree using Provider/Subscribe containers, with Unstated Next as its modern hooks-based successor. It offers a minimal alternative to Redux without extra architecture or ceremony.

Use cases

• share state between React components without Redux
• manage global state with React hooks
• replace Redux with a simpler state container
• lift component state to a shared container
• minimal state management for small React apps

When to choose

• you want Redux-like shared state with almost no boilerplate
• you prefer React's setState mental model
• you want a tiny dependency for small-to-medium React apps

When to avoid

• you need devtools, middleware, or time-travel debugging
• you need very high-frequency state updates or large-scale store architecture
• you need a library under active development
