Relay-runtime is a JavaScript framework for building data-driven React applications. It provides a declarative and efficient way to fetch and manage data in React components, optimizing performance by batching and caching network requests. Relay-runtime is known for its strong integration with GraphQL, enabling developers to define data requirements at the component level and automatically fetching and updating data as needed.
Compared to other data-fetching solutions like Redux or Apollo Client, Relay-runtime offers a more opinionated and tightly integrated approach to managing data in React applications. It simplifies data fetching and state management by leveraging GraphQL and providing a clear separation of concerns between data requirements and UI components.
