What are the differences between HOC and Render Props in React?

Higher-Order Components (HOCs) are functions that take a component and return a new component, while Render Props is a technique where a component uses a function as a prop to control what to render.

Can you give me an example of each?

Sure! For HOC, you might have a function that adds authentication to a component. For Render Props, a component might accept a function that returns JSX based on some internal state.

Which one is better to use?

It depends on the use case. HOCs can lead to more reusable code, while Render Props can provide more flexibility in rendering.

Are there any performance implications?

Yes, HOCs can lead to extra re-renders if not managed properly, while Render Props can sometimes lead to performance issues if the function prop is recreated on every render.
