description TanStack Query Overview

TanStack Query (formerly React Query) is the industry standard for managing asynchronous state in JavaScript applications. It handles caching, background updating, loading states, and error handling with minimal boilerplate. While it started as a React library, it has expanded to support Vue, Svelte, Solid, and Angular. It solves the complex problem of synchronizing server state with the UI, making it an essential tool for any modern web application that interacts with an API.

help TanStack Query FAQ

Why did React Query become TanStack Query?

React Query was renamed TanStack Query as it expanded beyond React. The TanStack ecosystem also includes tools such as TanStack Table and TanStack Router.

What problem does TanStack Query solve in JavaScript apps?

It manages server state: fetching, caching, retries, loading states, and background refetching. A typical query is identified by a queryKey and run through a queryFn.

Does TanStack Query replace Redux or Zustand?

Not exactly. TanStack Query handles async server data, while Redux, Zustand, and similar libraries are usually used for client-side UI state.

Which frameworks does TanStack Query support?

TanStack Query has adapters for React and other frontend ecosystems such as Vue, Solid, and Svelte. That cross-framework support is one reason the project moved away from the React Query name.
