Also called Next

A full-stack React framework built by Vercel that enables server-side rendering, static site generation, and powerful routing out of the box.

What it is

Next.js solves the SEO and performance issues of standard React single-page applications. It allows developers to render React components on the server before sending HTML to the browser. It features a file-system-based router and integrates directly with serverless backend APIs, making it the industry standard for production React apps.

When you would use it

You use Next.js as the default architecture when building any serious, production-grade web application using React.
