Isomorphic

Definitions

1. Describes code, usually JavaScript, that can run in both the server and browser environments with largely the same application logic. In web development the term is often used for apps that server-render initial HTML and then reuse the same components on the client for hydration.

   In plain English: It means the same app code can run on the server and in the user's browser.

   Example: "The rendering layer is isomorphic, so the same React components handle SSR on Node and hydration in the browser."
