Next.js can be used for both server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG), making it an excellent choice for building web applications that require fast loading times. Next.js provides an intuitive page-based routing system with support for dynamic routes, and it also supports newer React features such as Server Components. Next.js is used by some of the world's largest companies and aims to have the best-in-class developer experience. It provides many built-in features, making it easy to get started with building React applications.
