What is Next.JS?
Next.js is a framework created by Vercel, it was first released as an open-source project on GitHub on October 25, 2016.
Next.js is an open-source development framework based on Node.js and Babel and integrates with React for developing single-page apps. According to the official site nextjs.org:
“With Next.js, server rendering React applications has never been easier, no matter where your data is coming from.”
Next.js benefits
The Next.js framework has only been around for a few years, but it has quickly become one of the most popular tools for React developers because it is a full-stack framework that handles both the front-end and back-end of your application and supports a variety of rendering methods. We can list some of its benefits:
Part of the React ecosystem: Is an integral part of the React ecosystem.
Performance: Apps built with Next.js are incredibly fast thanks to static sites and server-side rendering.
Simple: Next.js is straightforward when it comes to deploying React apps, and simple to set up.
API routes: Next.js provides API routes, meaning that Next.js can be used to create an interface to the data that Next.js stores and retrieves.
Improved Search Engine Optimization: You can build a web application with all the features and interaction you need with the SEO benefits.
Server side
Next.js is initially a front-end framework for React at the same time, it added some “back-end” features, the API Routes, which can perform server-side code and can be considered as back-end. That’s why it can be considered as a full-stack framework.
