Both React.js and Next.js
are powerful tools for
building web applications,
but they have different
strengths and use cases.

Burhan Tahir

A JavaScript library for building
user interfaces, mainly for single-
page applications.
Concentrates on the view layer of
the application

A React framework that offers a

more complete solution for
building web applications.
Includes additional features such
as server-side rendering, static
site generation, and API routes.

Client-Side Rendering (CSR):
React.js primarily uses client-side
rendering, meaning the JavaScript
code is executed in the browser,
rendering the content on the client
side after the initial page load.

Server-Side Rendering (SSR):
Next.js can render pages on the
server, sending fully rendered
HTML to the client, improving
performance and SEO.
Static Site Generation (SSG):
Next.js can pre-render pages at
build time, creating static HTML
files that can be served quickly.
Client-Side Rendering (CSR):
Next.js also supports client-side
rendering like React.js for dynamic
content.

React Router: React.js does not have
built-in routing. Developers often use
the React Router library to
implement routing, allowing for the
creation of dynamic and nested
routes within a single-page
application.

Manual Configuration: Developers

must manually set up and configure
routes in the application.

File-Based Routing: Next.js includes
built-in file-based routing. Each file in
the pages directory automatically
becomes a route.
Dynamic Routing: Next.js supports
dynamic routing with file and folder
naming conventions, making it easier
to manage and understand the
routes in your application.
API Routes: Next.js also allows the
creation of API endpoints with file-
based routing in the pages/api
directory.

Manual Setup: Setting up a React.js
project typically involves manual
configuration. Developers often use tools
like Create React App (CRA) to
streamline the initial setup, which
includes configuring Webpack, Babel, and
other tools.

Automatic Configuration: Next.js comes

with built-in configurations, providing a
zero-config setup out of the box. This
includes support for Webpack, Babel,
TypeScript, and more.

React.js primarily uses client-side
rendering, which can slow initial load
times and require manual
performance optimizations, and its
client-side content rendering can limit
SEO effectiveness.

Next.js enhances performance and

SEO with server-side rendering,
static site generation, automatic
code splitting, built-in image
optimization, and various out-of-the-
box optimizations.

No Built-In Support: React.js does not
provide built-in support for API routes.
Developers need to set up a separate
backend server (e.g., using Node.js
with Express) to handle API requests.
Custom Configuration: Developers
must manually configure and
integrate their backend server with
the React.js frontend, often using
tools like Axios or Fetch for making
HTTP requests.

Built-In API Routes: Next.js includes
built-in support for API routes. You can
create API endpoints by adding files to
the pages/api directory.
Serverless Functions: Next.js API routes
are serverless functions that run on-
demand, simplifying the process of
creating and deploying backend
functionality without needing a
separate server setup.
Next.js seamlessly integrates API routes
with the frontend, simplifying data
fetching and handling in a unified
project structure.
