Why I prefer Next.js for my next project?

As all of us know front-end stacks are changing rapidly except the fundamental ones (Html,Css,Js) (they are obviously the foundations and will never change)

But the stacks that built upon the foundations can save you huge amount of time and double your productivity while building complex or simpler web apps

Today let’s know benefits of one such framework that got introduced to enhance React apps easily called Next.js and why you should use it in your next project.

1) Easy routing : Next.js uses file-based routing system that makes navigation effortless between pages. All you have to do is just put the pages of your website into the folder called app(previously called pages) and see Next.js building your routing, by the way it handles dynamic routing too

2) Server-Side rendering: Next.js ability to pre-render the Html+Css+Js files at Server-Side and throwing it to the client(Browser) after rendering at Server-Side is an awesome feature to people who are looking for an SEO optimization and faster loading of the web pages.

Also whenever you have features that require browser help, you can switch it back to client side rendering Just by adding "use client" statement at the top of the page you want to render at client-side

3) Code Splitting : Next.js does this, I mean it splits the code and throws only the necessary code for the respective page that is loaded, for eg: If a client is on home page it only gives the necessary code to render the home page and rest is loaded according to the page we are on.

4) Image Optimization: Next.js does Image optimization that means there is no need of worrying about your image not looking proper on different devices Next.js handles it easily, all you have to do is just give the original dimensions or the base dimensions and next.js will take the burden of optimizing it perfectly according to the screen size

At the end of the day Next.js is react but with more enhanced features, Honestly I have found Next.js folder structure to be very neat and clean, the routing is smooth and the loading of web pages is super cool, Try using Next in your next project!!
