Prop-types is a library used in React applications to type-check the props passed to components. It helps developers define the expected data types of props and provides warnings in the console if the props do not match the specified types. This helps catch bugs early and ensures that components receive the correct data.

Compared to TypeScript or Flow for type-checking in React, prop-types is simpler to set up and use, especially for projects that do not require a full type system. It is actively maintained and widely used in the React ecosystem, making it a reliable choice for ensuring prop validation in React components.
