Next.js

Definitions

1. A React meta-framework by Vercel that provides file-system-based routing, server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), API routes, and the App Router with React Server Components — enabling full-stack React applications with built-in performance optimizations like automatic code splitting and image optimization.

   In plain English: A popular framework built on top of React that handles page routing, server rendering, and many performance details so developers can focus on building features.

   Example: "We migrated to Next.js so we get SSR for SEO-critical pages and static generation for the marketing site, all in the same repo."
