Async Storage vs Redux: Which One to Use?

What's the difference between Async Storage and Redux?

Async Storage is a simple key-value storage system for React Native, while Redux is a state management library that helps manage application state in a predictable way.

When should I use Async Storage instead of Redux?

Use Async Storage for persisting data locally, like user preferences. Use Redux for managing complex state across your app.

Can I use both Async Storage and Redux together?

Yes, you can use both. Use Redux for state management and Async Storage for persisting that state when needed.

What are the performance implications of using Redux?

Redux can introduce some overhead due to its architecture, but it provides a predictable state container that can improve maintainability.
