What are the differences between Gesture Handler and Pan Responder in React Native?

Gesture Handler is a library that provides better gesture handling capabilities than the built-in Pan Responder. It allows for more complex gestures and better performance.

Can you explain how to implement both in a project?

Sure! For Gesture Handler, you need to install the library and wrap your app in a GestureHandlerRootView. For Pan Responder, you can directly use it in your component by defining the gesture handlers.

Which one should I use for a drag-and-drop feature?

I recommend using Gesture Handler for drag-and-drop features as it offers smoother interactions and better performance.

Are there any limitations to using Gesture Handler?

Yes, while Gesture Handler is powerful, it may have a steeper learning curve and requires additional setup compared to Pan Responder.
