What are the migration paths between them?

I can only answer questions about pmndrs/jotai or statelyai/xstate.

However, I should clarify: pmndrs/jotai and statelyai/xstate solve different problems and don't have a direct migration path between them.

• jotai is a primitive state management library for React — it manages component state reactively through atoms.
• xstate is a state machine and actor framework — it manages complex application logic through finite state machines.

These are complementary tools serving different use cases:

• Use jotai when you need lightweight, fine-grained reactive state management
• Use xstate when you need to model complex application workflows and state transitions

They can be used together in the same application (jotai for UI state, xstate for business logic), but there's no "migration" from one to the other — you'd choose based on your architectural needs.

If you have a specific question about one of these libraries individually — like "How does jotai's atom system work?" or "How does xstate handle parallel states?" — I'm happy to help.
