What are the best practices for using React Context?

When using React Context, it's important to keep the context value stable, avoid unnecessary re-renders, and use multiple contexts for different concerns.

Can you explain how to avoid unnecessary re-renders?

To avoid unnecessary re-renders, you can memoize the context value using useMemo and ensure that components consuming the context only re-render when the relevant part of the context changes.

What about performance issues with large applications?

In large applications, consider splitting context into smaller contexts, and use React's useReducer for complex state management to improve performance.

Are there any alternatives to React Context?

Yes, alternatives include state management libraries like Redux or MobX, which can provide more structured state management for larger applications.
