React Higher order component Vs Parent component

Question

I have been writing React code for long time, but when it come to choose Higher order Component(HOC) vs Parent component, i am not able to decide which one to choose, both seems to do same thing.

1. Render Highjacking
2. Code reuse, logic and bootstrap abstraction
3. Props manipulation
4. State abstraction and manipulation

Answer 1

This article has a great section comparing the 2 in the section Appendix B: Difference with Parent Components I'm still digging in to find out the core differences and when to use each as I have just been looking into this recently.
