Compare documentation, learning curves, and use cases for the Pinia and Vuex state management libraries for your next Vue.js project.

Pinia, a lightweight state management library for Vue.js, has gained recent popularity. It uses the new reactivity system in Vue 3 to build an intuitive and fully typed state management library.

Pinia’s success can be attributed to its unique features (extensibility, store module organization, grouping of state changes, multiple stores creation, and so on) for managing stored data.

On the other hand, Vuex is also a popular state management library built for the Vue framework, and it is the recommended library for state management by the Vue core team. Vuex is highly focused on application scalability, developer ergonomics, and confidence. It is based on the same flux architecture as Redux.

In this article, we will make a comparison between Pinia and Vuex. We will analyze the setup, community strengths, and performance of both frameworks. We’ll also look at new changes in Vuex 5 compared to Pinia 2.

The code snippets used in this article are based on the Vue 3 Composition API.
