What is Nuxt?

The leading meta-framework for Vue.js, providing server-side rendering, static site generation, and file-based routing to build production-ready Vue applications.

Nuxt provides for Vue what Next.js provides for React. It abstracts away complex configurations, offering intuitive file-based routing and a robust API layer. It allows developers to choose between server-side rendering or generating purely static sites, making Vue suitable for highly performant, SEO-critical applications.
