Is TanStack Query better than Redux for handling large JSON objects?

TanStack Query is generally better than Redux for server state including large JSON objects from APIs. TanStack Query provides automatic caching, background updates, deduplication, and garbage collection specifically designed for async data. Redux requires manual cache invalidation, loading states, and synchronization logic. TanStack Query reduces boilerplate by 80% compared to Redux for API data. It handles stale data, refetching, and error states automatically. Redux excels at complex client state, form state, and cross-feature coordination. For large JSON from APIs, TanStack Query is purpose-built and more efficient. Redux with RTK Query approaches TanStack Query capabilities but with more complexity. TanStack Query normalized cache handles nested JSON relationships effectively. Memory management is automatic with LRU cache and configurable garbage collection. Use TanStack Query for server-derived JSON state. Use Redux for complex client state orchestration. Many applications benefit from both: TanStack Query for API data, Redux for app logic.
