Next.js is a React-based framework for building full‑stack web applications. It provides server‑side rendering, static site generation, routing, and API routes out of the box.

Use cases

• build a React website with server‑side rendering for SEO
• create a static site that can be regenerated incrementally
• develop a full‑stack app with API routes and server actions
• implement file‑system based routing and nested layouts
• add middleware/proxy logic for request rewriting or authentication

When to choose

• You need a production‑ready React framework with built‑in SSR and SSG.
• You want automatic code splitting, image optimization, and fast performance.
• Your project benefits from file‑system routing and server actions.

When to avoid

• You prefer a framework that does not lock you into React.
• You need fine‑grained control over the build pipeline beyond what Next.js abstracts.
• Your application is a simple static site without dynamic data fetching.
