XState is a state machine that handles state uniquely by existing in only one state at a given moment and transitioning based on specific conditions.
XState is recommended for handling complex conditions that are difficult to manage with simple if-else statements, ensuring transitions follow specified rules.
By creating a state machine with XState, you can define states and transitions clearly, making it easier to implement and maintain complex logic.
Consuming the state machine involves using the interpret function in vanilla JavaScript to transition between states based on predefined rules, ensuring correct state transitions.
