# Modern State Management in React Applications
Choosing the right state management solution is crucial. Let's compare different approaches.
## Local State with useState
Best for:
- Component-specific state
- Simple state logic
- No need to share state
## Context API
Use when:
- Sharing state across multiple components
- Avoiding prop drilling
- State doesn't change frequently
## External Libraries
Consider Zustand, Redux, or Jotai when:
- Complex state logic
- Need for middleware
- Large-scale applications
## Conclusion
Choose the simplest solution that meets your needs. Don't over-engineer your state management.
