Create React App vs. NextJS vs. Vite

When it comes to building modern web applications with React, there are several popular tools to choose from. In this article, we’ll compare Create React App, NextJS, and Vite, and explore their strengths and weaknesses.

Create React App

Create React App is a popular tool for quickly setting up a new React project. It provides a pre-configured environment with a simple and easy-to-use setup process. Create React App is a great choice for beginners and those who want to get started with React development quickly without having to worry about complex configuration.

NextJS

NextJS is a powerful framework for building server-side rendered and static websites with React. It provides features such as automatic code splitting, client-side navigation, and server-side rendering out of the box. NextJS is a great choice for building complex applications that require server-side rendering and search engine optimization.

Vite

Vite is a new build tool for modern web development. It focuses on speed and simplicity, and is designed to work with ES modules without the need for a build step. Vite is a great choice for building fast and efficient web applications with modern JavaScript features such as ES modules and native ESM (EcmaScript Module) support.

Comparison

Each of these tools has its own strengths and weaknesses. Create React App is great for quick and simple setups, NextJS is ideal for complex applications that require server-side rendering, and Vite is perfect for building fast and efficient web applications with modern JavaScript features.

In conclusion, the choice between Create React App, NextJS, and Vite ultimately depends on the specific requirements of your project. Beginners may find Create React App to be the easiest to get started with, while those building complex applications may benefit from the features of NextJS. Vite is a great choice for those looking for a fast and efficient build tool for modern web development.

While I admire all those developers creating these videos and posting here in youtube for free, I'd advice developers beginners to ALWAYS do a research and form your own opinion around a subject.
You should be able to read/watch any content on the internet and be able to differentiate fact from opinion.
Saying that Server side rendering will be better because of SEO improvements is correct. But there is some information missing regarding SSR.
– Not all applications need SEO, so you don't really need SSR in every system you develop.
– It's slower to render. So, you lose a bit of performance.
– It adds more complexity specially if the application is very dynamic. So, you lose a bit of performance also on the development side.
– It will require more resource from the server. Not too much, but it will.

I tried Nextjs. I like how when you 'npm run build' it transform your .js files into html which is good for SEO and why I'm thinking of changing into it from CRA that only has SPA. Still confusing tho
