+[Zeit's SWR](https://github.com/zeit/swr) is a great library, and is very similar in spirit and implementation to React Query with a few notable differences:
 
 - Automatic Cache Garbage Collection - React Query handles automatic cache purging for inactive queries and garbage collection. This can mean a much smaller memory footprint for apps that consume a lot of data or data that is changing often in a single session
 - No Default Data Fetcher Function - React Query does not ship with a default fetcher (but can easily be wrapped inside of a custom hook to achieve the same functionality)

-Most of the time, this pattern works well, but if your source query you're using to look up the initial data from is old, you may not want to use the data at all and just fetch from the server. To make this decision easier, you can use the `queryCache.getQuery` method instead to get more information about the source query, including an `updatedAt` timestamp you can use to decide if the query is "fresh" enough for your needs:

-When a mutation succeeds, it's likely that other queries in your application need to update. Where other libraries that use normalized caches would attempt to update locale queries with the new data imperatively, React Query helps you avoids the manual labor that comes with maintaining normalized caches and instead prescribes **atomic updates and refetching** instead of direct cache manipulation.
