Next.js is an open-source React framework that helps developers build full-stack web applications:
- FeaturesNext.js provides additional features and optimizations for React, such as routing, data fetching, and caching. It also includes built-in optimizations like automatic image, font, and script optimizations.
- Server-side rendering (SSR)Next.js allows web pages to be rendered on the server for each request, rather than in the browser. This improves page load times and can help with SEO.
- Static site generation (SSG)Next.js includes features for static site generation, which can be useful for websites that process large amounts of data, like news websites or eCommerce platforms.
- ScalabilityNext.js includes a hybrid rendering model that can help projects handle increased traffic and content without sacrificing performance.
Next.js is used by a wide range of companies, including small businesses, startups, large corporations, and Fortune 500 companies like Stripe, The Washington Post, Nike, OpenAI, and Netflix.
