State management with Context API and Redux patterns

State management solutions handle data flow in complex applications. I use React Context API for moderate state sharing without prop drilling. The createContext function creates context objects, while Provider passes data down the tree. The useReducer hook manages complex state logic with actions and reducers. Redux provides centralized state management with unidirectional data flow. Actions describe what happened, reducers specify state updates, and store holds application state. The useSelector hook reads state, while useDispatch dispatches actions. Modern Redux Toolkit simplifies boilerplate with createSlice. Proper state management improves maintainability.
