Next.js

React framework for building full-stack web applications. Combines React components with built-in routing, server rendering, and automatic optimizations so teams can ship without configuring bundlers or compilers.

Trusted by enterprises such as TikTok, Netflix, and Notion. Next.js stands out from plain React and other frameworks by bundling the full stack in one tool: file-system routing, Server Components for zero-bundle server-rendered UI, and the App Router with streaming and partial prerendering alongside the legacy Pages Router.

Key capabilities:

• App Router with Server Components, layouts, and partial prerendering for hybrid static and dynamic pages
• File-system based routing with dynamic segments and nested layouts
• Server Actions and API routes for backend logic without a separate server
• Built-in image, font, and script optimization with automatic code splitting
• Deployment to Node.js, edge runtimes, or static export

Teams choose Next.js for marketing sites, dashboards, e-commerce, and content-heavy apps where SEO and fast initial loads matter. Developers fetch from databases and headless CMSs directly in components, use middleware for auth and redirects, and deploy to cloud platforms or self-hosted infrastructure.
