What is Next.js?

Next.js is an open-source, flexible React framework (created and maintained by Vercel) that gives us building blocks to create fast web applications.

This means that Next.js handles the tooling and configuration needed for React, and provides additional structure, features, and optimizations for the application (such as building tools, routing, customizable components, etc).

In easy words, Next.js is enabling React-based web applications with server-side rendering build option and it is also generating static websites. Where traditional React applications can only render their content in the client-side browser, Next.js extends this functionality to include applications rendered on the server-side.

In easy words, With Next.js we can build fully interactive, highly dynamic, and performant web applications.
