Which Is Better Redux or Context Api?

Context API is easy to is use as it has a short learning curve. It requires less code, and because there's no need of extra libraries, bundle sizes are reduced. Redux on the other hand requires adding more libraries to the application bundle. The syntax is complex and extensive creating unnecessary work and complexity.

Will context API replace Redux?

The React Context API is React's way of managing state in multiple components that are not directly connected. Without Hooks, the Context API might not seem like much when compared to Redux, but combined with the useReducer Hook, we have a solution that finally solves the state management problem.

What is the difference between Redux and context API?

Context + useReducer are React features, and therefore cannot be used outside of React. A Redux store is independent of any UI, and so it can be used separate from React. The React DevTools allow viewing the current context value, but not any of the historical values or changes over time.
