When should I use useContext in React?

You should use useContext when you want to share state or props across multiple components without prop drilling.

Can you give me an example of how to use it?

Sure! You can create a context using React.createContext, then wrap your components with the Provider and use useContext to access the value.

What are the benefits of using useContext?

The main benefits are cleaner code, easier state management, and avoiding the complexity of prop drilling.

Are there any downsides to using it?

Yes, overusing useContext can lead to performance issues if the context value changes frequently, causing unnecessary re-renders.
