I think HA is using ZHA under the hood for Zigbee communications.

My mistake, zigbee2mqtt is one off third party options to add zigbee to HA. But still, quite nice project.

Yep, Z2M seems to be very reliable way to handle zigbee devices. Also it feels little more vendor-lock free (considering HA as vendor here).

It can use both. ZHA is included in base HA. Z2M is an optional addon. Z2M has better support for obscure devices in my experience. I Also strongly prefer the management interface in z2m.
