use-sync-external-store provides a React hook for safely and efficiently subscribing to external data sources, ensuring consistent snapshots even with concurrent updates. It's particularly valuable for integrating React components with state management solutions outside of React, like Redux or Zustand. This hook optimizes performance by minimizing unnecessary re-renders and preventing tearing issues, offering a reliable mechanism for reading and subscribing to external mutable values within a React application. It’s a performant alternative to useMutableSource in React 18+.
