Recoil: Mobx-state-tree vs Recoil

[chinmayakcv]

I just want to know the differences between mobx-state-tree and this library.

As far my understanding goes mobx-state-tree is independent of UI Library.

Is recoil to used only with react or Will it be a standalone JS library?

It seems that as it stands this library is tightly coupled with React as it uses the context api and hooks to manage the state.

Recoil is tightly tied to React and will almost certainly remain so. A lot of things about it are designed the way they are specifically to work with newer React features and to be compatible with future React changes.

@davidmccabe MobX creates observable object by cloning the input object and then converts it back to a plain JS object by calling toJS

Does Recoil also clone objects? I'm trying to understand Recoil memory requirements.

Recoil doesn't clone objects like this, though it may freeze them in development mode to help catch errors. It may also cache values which affect memory retention.
