What are some use cases for Vuex and Pinia in Vue.js applications?

Vuex is great for managing complex state in large applications, while Pinia offers a simpler API for smaller projects.

Can you give me an example of a project where I would use Vuex?

Sure! A large e-commerce site with multiple components needing shared state, like user authentication and cart management.

And when would I prefer to use Pinia instead?

Pinia is ideal for smaller applications or when you want a lightweight state management solution without the boilerplate.

Are there any performance differences between the two?

Yes, Pinia is generally more performant due to its simpler design, but Vuex is more robust for complex scenarios.

What about integrating with Vue Router?

Both Vuex and Pinia can easily integrate with Vue Router to manage navigation state and user sessions.
