What is the difference between form data binding and manual binding?

What is the difference between form data binding and manual binding?

Form data binding automatically connects UI elements to data sources, while manual binding requires explicit code to link them.

Can you give me an example of each?

Sure! In form data binding, a text box can directly display a user's name from a data model. In manual binding, you'd write code to set the text box's value based on the model.

Which method is better for performance?

Form data binding is generally more efficient as it reduces boilerplate code and minimizes manual updates, but it can be less flexible.

Are there any scenarios where manual binding is preferred?

Yes, manual binding is preferred when you need fine-grained control over the data flow or when working with complex data transformations.
