What is Next.js?
Next.js is a framework for building production web applications with React. It keeps React’s component model and adds routing, server-side rendering, static generation, data loading, API endpoints, and deployment-oriented optimizations.
In a single-page application, most content may be created in the browser. Next.js can render a page on the server, generate it as static HTML during build, or make it interactive on the client when needed.
Core Features
- File-based routing: Pages and routes are derived from the project structure.
- SSR: Content is rendered on the server at request time.
- SSG: Pages are generated as HTML during the build.
- API routes or server handlers: Small backend endpoints can live in the same project.
- Image and font optimization: Built-in helpers improve delivery and loading behavior.
When to Use Next.js
Next.js is used for dashboards, SaaS interfaces, user accounts, e-commerce, content sites, and hybrid applications. It lets teams use the React ecosystem while gaining more control over SEO and initial page performance.
