When should I use Vuex in my Vue.js application?

You should use Vuex when your application has complex state management needs, especially with multiple components needing access to shared state.

Can you give me an example of a situation where Vuex is necessary?

Sure! If you have a large application with many components that need to share data, like a shopping cart, Vuex helps manage that state efficiently.

What are the benefits of using Vuex over just using props and events?

Vuex centralizes state management, making it easier to track changes, debug, and maintain your application as it grows.

Are there any downsides to using Vuex?

Yes, it can add complexity to smaller applications where simple props and events might suffice, so it's important to assess your needs.
