What is Next.js?
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. It provides a structured approach for developers to create high-quality web experiences using React components. The framework is widely adopted for its capabilities in optimizing performance and simplifying the development process for web projects. Developers use Next.js to build web applications with features like automatic image and font optimizations, dynamic HTML streaming, and React Server Components. They can implement various rendering strategies, including server-side rendering and client-side rendering, and manage data fetching on both the server and client. The framework also allows for building API endpoints with Route Handlers and executing server code directly with Server Actions.
