What are the differences between HOCs 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 HOCs, you might have a function that adds logging to a component. For Render Props, a component might accept a function that returns JSX based on some internal state.

When should I use one over the other?

Use HOCs for cross-cutting concerns like logging or authentication, and Render Props for more dynamic rendering based on state or props.

Are there any performance implications to consider?

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