Next.js is an open-source React framework published by Vercel, now the de-facto standard for building modern web applications with React.

It provides server-side rendering (SSR), static generation (SSG), incremental rendering (ISR), filesystem-based routing, Server Components, Server Actions, automatic image and font optimisation, and native edge deployment.

Since Next.js 13 (App Router) and through 14, 15 and 16, the framework has been restructured around React Server Components and a declarative cache model. It is used by Notion, OpenAI, Anthropic, TikTok, Hulu and most new production React projects.
