State management plays a crucial role in any application where state is relevant across different places in the code base. This is either because there are multiple consumers or multiple producers of data. In practice, this means that MobX is useful in any application that has a non-trivial amount of data entry or data visualization.
MobX has official bindings for React.js, Preact, and Angular. However, many have used the library in combination with libraries and frameworks such as jQuery, konva.js, Next.js, Vue.js, and even Backbone. When working through the book, you will discover that the concepts required to use a tool like MobX are universally applicable in any environment.
