Introduction to Next.js

Introduction to Next.js

Next.js is a powerful open-source React framework developed by Vercel. It simplifies building modern web applications by offering features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), and API routes.

Why Choose Next.js?

  • Performance: SSR and SSG deliver fast load times and improved SEO.
  • File-based Routing: Each file in the pages directory becomes a route, making navigation simple.
  • Versatility: Supports TypeScript, CSS modules, and image optimization.
  • API Routes: Build backend functionality without a separate server.

Getting Started

To start with Next.js, install it using npm:

npm install next react react-dom
