React Context API vs Props Passing

In React, you can share data between components using props or the Context API. Props are used to pass data from one component to another, like from parent to child. This works well when only a few components need the data. But if many components need the same data, and they are deep in the tree, passing props through every level becomes messy—this is called "prop drilling." The Context API helps with this by letting you share data across your app without passing it through every level. Use props for simple, direct sharing, and Context when many parts of your app need the same data.
