React Query (TanStack Query)
TanStack Query (formerly React Query) is the standard for fetching, caching, synchronizing, and updating server state in your web applications.
Why use it?
- Server State Management: Handles loading, error, and success states automatically.
- Caching: Caches data to avoid unnecessary requests.
- Deduping: Dedupes multiple requests for the same data.
- Background Updates: Keeps data fresh in the background.
It is particularly useful in Client Components where you need to fetch data from an API.
