<p>is React’s Rule over now?</p>
<p>You have noticed that most of the Junior (and Senior Also) Developers are switching over from React.js to Next.js. But, the main Question is why is it so ??, is Next.js provides something that others(in this blog, we are only comparing it with React.js) cannot ?? Let’s Find out in this Blog Post. But, At the start let’s only talk about Next.js.</p>
<p><strong>It’s Origin</strong></p>
<p>Next.js was created by <strong>ZEIT(At Present: It is VERCEL)</strong>, a company focused on simplifying the deployment and hosting of web applications. The project was initially introduced in <strong><em>2016 by Guillermo Rauch</em></strong>, one of the co-founders of <strong>ZEIT</strong>.</p>
<p><em>The primary goal was to make server-side rendering (SSR) and other advanced features easier to use with React, enabling developers to create high-performance web applications that load quickly and are more SEO-friendly.</em></p>

<p><strong>What was React Doing at that Time ??</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>****** FOR YOUR INFORMATION: </em></strong>React was created by<strong><em> Jordan Walke</em></strong>, a software engineer at Meta, who released an early prototype of React called <strong><em>“FaxJS”</em></strong>. He was influenced by <strong>XHP</strong>, an <strong>HTML</strong> component library for <strong>PHP</strong>. It was first deployed on Facebook’s News Feed in 2011 and later on <strong>Instagram</strong> in 2012. It was open-sourced at JSConf US in May 2013. <strong>******</strong></p>
<p>Everyone knows that React is Owned and Managed by Facebook and Facebook is a Big Company. So, React gained initial Trust from the Developers (Although, Some of us know about Facebook ). and some other reasons were its novel approach to UI development, The virtual DOM, a key concept in React, allowed for efficient updates to the UI by minimizing direct manipulation of the actual DOM.</p>
