Exploring Zedux and how it compares to Redux

Zedux, introduced in April 2023, is a new state management engine for React that aims to address performance and maintenance issues found in other tools like Redux. Designed with a focus on simplicity and efficiency, Zedux features a dependency injection-driven atomic architecture that separates the state layer from the architectural layer, contrasting with Redux's Elm architecture pattern. It emphasizes a zero configuration setup, reducing boilerplate code and simplifying the integration process, making it appealing for beginners. While Redux is recognized for its robust performance, especially in complex applications, Zedux offers a more streamlined codebase and faster setup, with multiple small, composable stores improving performance as application complexity increases. The article provides a comprehensive comparison between Zedux and Redux, detailing their differences in architecture, middleware, and setup, and includes a step-by-step guide to building a React application using Zedux, highlighting its ease of use and the reduced codebase size compared to Redux.
