Used by some of the world's largest companies, Next.js enables you to create full-stack Web applications by extending the latest React features, and integrating powerful Rust-based JavaScript tooling for the fastest builds.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. You use React Components to build user interfaces, and Next.js for additional features and optimizations.
Under the hood, Next.js also abstracts and automatically configures tooling needed for React, like bundling, compiling, and more. This allows you to focus on building your application instead of spending time with configuration.
Whether you're an individual developer or part of a larger team, Next.js can help you build interactive, dynamic, and fast React applications.
Some of the main Next.js features include:
Routing : A file-system based router built on top of Server Components that supports layouts, nested routing, loading states, error handling, and more.
Rendering : Client-side and Server-side Rendering with Client and Server Components. Further optimized with Static and Dynamic Rendering on the server with Next.js. Streaming on Edge and Node.js runtimes.
Data Fetching : Simplified data fetching with async/await in Server Components, and an extended fetch API for request memoization, data caching and revalidation.
Styling : Support for your preferred styling methods, including CSS Modules, Tailwind CSS, and CSS-in-JS
Optimizations : Image, Fonts, and Script Optimizations to improve your application's Core Web Vitals and User Experience.
TypeScript : Improved support for TypeScript, with better type checking and more efficient compilation, as well as custom TypeScript Plugin and type checker.
