Next.js "Universal React Made Easy and Simple"
summary
Next.js claims server‑rendered React that runs everywhere, boots with one command and maps routes from a Pages directory so each file is an entry point. It exposes getInitialProps for server prefetching, a prefetch link API to warm client bundles, and route‑masking to map URLs to different top‑level components. Developers get scoped CSS via style‑jsx, content‑addressable build artifacts for safe continuous deploys, improved HMR by rebuilding only affected pages, examples for Redux/Apollo/Inferno, and an export mode for static HTML.
