Web Applications are an essential part of today’s technological advancements with some of the biggest companies building their projects on the web with mass scalability, engaging user-interaction, and fast performance.
In order to be able to program strongly-founded web applications with multiple functionalities in a systematic fashion, development frameworks have proved to be of great significance.
Next.js is an open-source development framework built on top of Node.js enabling React based web applications functionalities such as server-side rendering, automatic code splitting, hot module replacement, and generating static websites.
Sapper is an app framework built on top of Svelte. Its job is to make it easy to build Svelte apps with all the modern best practices like server-side rendering (SSR) and code-splitting, and to provide a project structure that makes development productive and fun.
Compare and contrast the roles Next.js and Sapper play in modern-day development, what they offer, and how they can potentially be used to build powerful applications in the future.
