Controlled inputs: The value of the input field is controlled by the component's state. The state holds the current value, and any changes update the state. This is commonly used in React applications.
Uncontrolled inputs: The input field manages its own state internally. React doesn't have direct control over the value, and DOM access is needed to retrieve it. They are less common but useful in certain scenarios.
Controlled inputs offer more control and synchronization between UI and state. Uncontrolled inputs are managed by the DOM or other libraries.
