- Immer simplifies immutability in JavaScript by allowing modifications to a draft state, which is then used to produce a new immutable state.
- It uses structural sharing and proxies (or an ES5 fallback) to efficiently create new states while preserving unchanged parts.
- Immer integrates seamlessly with Redux reducers, reducing boilerplate and improving code readability without sacrificing performance.
- Key features include automatic freezing in development, currying for partial application, and compatibility with standard JavaScript data structures.
