What's So Great About Next.js?
Next.js is a popular meta framework built upon React, offering full-stack web application development support and various rendering methods. It started as a server-side rendering (SSR) framework but has evolved to include pre-rendering (static site generation), deferred rendering (Incremental Static Regeneration), and client-side rendering. The ability to mix these methods provides developers with flexibility, but also presents challenges in determining the best rendering method for specific content. Integrating Next.js with tools like LaunchDarkly requires careful consideration of when and how to render content.
