What's So Great About Next.js?

Vercel

As React became the most widely adopted web framework, encompassing over 40% of developers in 2021 according to Statista, Next.js adoption has also grown dramatically. Vercel, the company that maintains Next.js, cites over 6 million downloads since its launch and 50% usage growth in the top ten-thousand websites for the period of October 2020 to June 2021 alone.

Next.js is what's often referred to as a "meta framework," in that it is a framework built upon one or more other frameworks. In the case of Next.js, it is built upon React.

Nuxt.js

With pre-rendering---also called static rendering or static site generation (SSG)---the page is rendered during a build that occurs before the application is deployed, usually as part of a CI/CD build process. This was originally added as an option in Next.js 3 but the process was very manual. As of Next.js 6, routes became automatic for both SSR and SSG pages (though dynamic routes still need to provide paths programmatically via the getStaticPaths() method). Next.js 9 introduced a feature called "Automatic Static Optimization" that automatically determines if a page can be rendered as static. The ability to mix server-side rendered pages/routes and pre-rendered pages/routes was unique to Next.js and has since been adopted by other tools frameworks like Gatsby and Nuxt.
