Debouncing:

– Delays the execution of a function until after a specified wait time since the last invocation.
– Ideal for search inputs or form submissions to reduce unnecessary API calls while the user is still typing.
– Example: Wait for 300ms after the user stops typing before triggering a search.

Throttling

– Limits the function execution to once per specified interval, regardless of how often the event is triggered.
– Useful for scroll events or window resizing, where you want consistent handling without overwhelming performance.
– Example: Allow the function to execute every 100ms while scrolling, ignoring excessive triggers in between.

Both techniques can be easily implemented in React using utility libraries like Lodash or custom hooks. Choosing between debouncing or throttling depends on your specific performance needs.
