Immutable.js: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Immutable is a JavaScript library that provides persistent data structures to make working with immutable data easier and more efficient. It allows you to create immutable collections like List, Map, and Set, which are ideal for managing state in applications where immutability is crucial for predictable behavior and performance optimization.
Compared to mutable data structures, Immutable ensures that data remains unchanged once created, preventing unintended side effects and simplifying state management in complex applications. It is actively maintained and widely used in projects that require immutable data handling.
