# What is Next.js?
Next.js is a React framework for building full-stack web applications. You use React Components to build user interfaces, and Next.js for additional features and optimizations.
Under the hood, Next.js also abstracts and automatically configures tooling needed for React, like bundling, compiling, and more. This allows you to focus on building your application instead of spending time with configuration.
## Key Features
- **Routing**: A file-system based router built on top of Server Components that supports layouts, nested routing, loading states, error handling, and more.
- **Rendering**: Client-side and Server-side Rendering with Client and Server Components.
- **Data Fetching**: Simplified data fetching with async/await in Server Components.
- **Styling**: Support for your preferred styling methods, including Tailwind CSS and CSS Modules.
- **Optimizations**: Image, Font, and Script Optimizations to improve your application's Core Web Vitals and User Experience.
Next.js is maintained by Vercel and has become the industry standard for building React applications.
