Recoil is a state management library for React applications developed by Facebook. It provides a simple and efficient way to manage global state in complex React applications, offering features like atoms, selectors, and asynchronous data fetching. Recoil leverages React's built-in features like hooks and context API to provide a flexible and scalable state management solution.
Compared to other state management libraries like Redux and MobX, Recoil offers a more intuitive and declarative approach to managing state, reducing boilerplate code and improving performance. It is actively maintained by Facebook and is recommended for new React projects requiring efficient state management.
