Hot Code Reloading
Next has hot code reloading feature that allows you to see the immediate effects on code changes without the need for a full page refresh. It is also known as fast refresh. This speeds up the development process and making it more efficient. With HCR, you can observe real-time updates in the browser as you modify the code which enhances the overall development experience.
Automatic Code Splitting
Code splitting is a technique that breaks down a large JavaScript code into smaller, more manageable component. With this feature, every import in the code gets bundled and served with each page. It means that unnecessary code never gets loaded on the page. If there is an import in a specific page then other pages do not include that library this makes our application lightweight.
Ecosystem Compatibility
Next is designed in such a way that it can easily able to integrate with the React or Node ecosystem. You can use your knowledge of React while taking advantage of features of Next that provides a smooth transition for those familiar with React development.
Server Rendering
Server rendering is an important feature in Next that increases performance and search engine optimization (SEO). Due to this, the initial rendering of pages is done on the server rather than the client that helps in faster page loads and improved search engine indexing.
Automatic Routing
Next simplifies the process of defining routes in a React application. It allows you to create pages in the pages directory, and the framework automatically generates routes based on these files. This eliminates the need for explicit route configurations, providing a simple way for routing within the application.

JavaScript has become more powerful and popular. It has a vast ecosystem and a large community which is increasing rapidly. React has become the most loved and used JavaScript library among developers to create Single Page Application and Next is an open-source web development React-based framework created by Vercel, which is famous for its unique features such as Server-side rendering and enhanced SEO.
