Getting Started with Next JS
NextJS is an open-source React framework for building full-stack web applications ( created and maintained by Vercel ). You can use React Components to build user interfaces, and NextJS for additional features and optimizations. It is built on top of Server Components, which allows you to render server-rendered React components to the client. This means your pages can be more interactive and dynamic, while still being fast and performant. One of its notable features is the NextJS App Router, which facilitates routing within your application. This article will dive into NextJS App Router, its components, and implementation, and provide a code example and a brief output.
