The React framework for production web applications
Next.js by Vercel is the dominant React framework for production applications, providing server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), API routes, middleware, and the new App Router with React Server Components. It's the default choice for modern full-stack React development. Next.js abstracts complex web development patterns (routing, rendering, optimization) into a convention-based framework that scales from simple sites to complex enterprise applications.
