Overview
Next.js is a framework built around React for creating web applications. It adds application concerns such as routing, rendering, and server integration, giving developers conventions that extend beyond React's component model.
How it is used
Pages and layouts organize routes. Server and client components divide work between environments, and data-handling features connect the rendered application to its information sources.
A useful distinction
Rendering location and caching affect application behavior. A component that runs on a server has different capabilities from one that runs in a browser, so boundaries should be explicit.
