React.js
- A library for building user interfaces.
- Great for SPAs (Single Page Applications) where client-side
- rendering (CSR) is enough.
- Requires additional setup for routing, state management, and API
- handling (e.g., using React Router, Redux, etc.).
- More flexibility but requires manual configuration for things like SSR, SEO, and performance optimizations.
Next.js
- A framework built on top of React.
- Provides SSR (Server-Side Rendering), SSG (Static Site
- Generation), and ISR (Incremental Static Regeneration) for better SEO and performance.
- Comes with built-in routing (file-based), API routes, and full-stack capabilities.
- Ideal for fast-loading, SEO-friendly websites, such as e-commerce platforms, blogs, and dashboards.
