🆚 Next.js vs. React

Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications that offers server-side rendering, static site generation, file-based routing, and built-in API routes.

It also supports incremental static regeneration (ISR) to update static pages without full rebuilds, automatic image optimization, fast refresh during development, and built-in TypeScript support.

React is a popular open-source JavaScript library for building dynamic user interfaces, created by Facebook.

It allows developers to create reusable UI components, offers JSX markup support, a virtual DOM, hooks, and is often used as a base for other full-stack frameworks such as Next.js or Remix.
