Overview
Next.js is an impressive framework built on top of React that simplifies the process of building dynamic, server-rendered applications. With its efficient development process and integrated optimization tools, it allows developers to focus more on crafting robust applications rather than getting buried in boilerplate code. The ability to seamlessly manage assets and the flexibility in routing are just a few reasons why developers are increasingly turning to Next.js for their web projects.
Once you set up your Next.js application using create-next-app, you can instantly see the fruits of your labor by launching a local development server. The real-time updates while editing files make it not only efficient but also a joy to work with, as changes reflect immediately in the browser.
