Next.js is an open-source, objective-coded framework for web developers created by Kotlin JS developers. It is used to create server-rendered React applications and can be used with modern JavaScript languages like TypeScript, GraphQL, and React components.

Next.js allows developers to create web applications to a high standard with pre-built features such as routing, file-based routing, webpack dev server, hot module replacement, static exports, and code splitting.
