Immer is a JavaScript library that allows you to work with immutable data structures in a more convenient and intuitive way. It simplifies the process of updating immutable objects by enabling you to write code that looks like you are directly mutating state, while ensuring immutability behind the scenes. Immer is particularly useful in the context of state management in applications built with libraries like Redux or MobX.
Compared to manually handling immutability, Immer reduces boilerplate code and makes the codebase more readable and maintainable. It provides a cleaner and more efficient approach to working with immutable data structures.
