Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Vendor Libraries

Developers should use vendor libraries when they need to implement complex features quickly, such as adding Stripe for payments or Chart

Pros

• js for graphs, to save time and ensure reliability through tested solutions
• Related to: dependency-management, api-integration

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
