Immer is a JavaScript library that allows you to work with immutable state in a more convenient and efficient way. It simplifies the process of updating nested data structures by enabling you to write code that looks like mutable operations, while actually producing immutable data. Immer's approach reduces the complexity of managing state in applications and helps prevent bugs caused by accidental mutations.
Compared to manually handling immutability or using other libraries like Immutable.js, Immer offers a more intuitive and readable syntax. It is actively maintained and widely used in the JavaScript community for state management in applications.
