difference between proc and sysfs file systems

Both are pseudo file systems. I am a bit familiar with proc as it is
useful in seeing system info and also change things like ip_forward on
the fly,
but not so familar with sysfs. Why do we need sysfs....what
functionality does it bring that could not be provided by proc.

thanks.
