Next.js
React framework for building full-stack web applications, with routing, rendering and data fetching.
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. A new app is created with create-next-app. The project runs on Node.js, and an app can run as a Node.js server started with npm run start or as a static export of HTML, CSS and JavaScript files that any web server can serve. The project is maintained by Vercel, Inc.
Worth knowing
The Node.js server supports all Next.js features. A static export can be hosted on any web server that serves HTML, CSS and JavaScript files, and it does not support the features that require a server. Vercel, which maintains the project, also offers a platform for hosting Next.js apps.
