Next.js - Full-Stack React Framework

Next.js is a production framework for React applications. It adds routing, layouts, server rendering, static pages, route handlers, metadata, image optimization, and deployment conventions.

For .NET developers, Next.js is a strong frontend choice when ASP.NET Core Web API remains the backend and Next.js handles the user interface.
