## What it is
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications with hybrid static and server rendering, routing, and bundling built in. It supports server-side rendering, static site generation, and incremental static regeneration out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a server-rendered react app
- create a static blog site
- build a full-stack web application with api routes
- generate a statically exported marketing site
- build an e-commerce storefront with fast page loads
- set up server-side rendering for seo

## When to choose
- you want a batteries-included react framework with routing and rendering handled
- you need a mix of static and server-rendered pages
- you want strong developer experience with fast refresh and easy deployment

## When to avoid
- you are building a simple single-page app without seo needs
- you are not using react
- you need a minimal custom build setup with full control over tooling
