1. What is Next.js and how is it different from React?
Next.js is a React framework that provides additional features like server-side rendering (SSR), static site generation (SSG), API routes, routing, and more out-of-the-box. While React handles the view layer, Next.js helps with performance, routing, and deployment.

2. What are the different types of data fetching methods in Next.js?
Next.js supports:

• Static Site Generation (SSG) – pre-renders pages at build time.
• Server-Side Rendering (SSR) – pre-renders on each request.
• Client-Side Fetching – data fetched after the page loads using hooks like useEffect.

3. Explain the concept of file-based routing in Next.js.
In Next.js, every file inside the pages directory automatically becomes a route. For example, pages/about.js becomes /about. It supports dynamic routes like [id].js, catch-all routes like [...slug].js, and parallel/intercepted routes using special folder structures.

4. What are dynamic routes and how do you use them?
Dynamic routes allow creating pages with dynamic parameters. For example, pages/blog/[id].js will match /blog/1, /blog/2, etc. You can use getStaticPaths and getStaticProps (or getServerSideProps) to fetch data based on these parameters.

5. What is the difference between getStaticProps and getServerSideProps?

• getStaticProps: Runs at build time; used for static site generation.
• getServerSideProps: Runs at request time; used for server-side rendering and real-time data.

6. How do you optimize images in Next.js?
Next.js offers the <Image> component which optimizes images automatically. It supports resizing, lazy loading, and formats like WebP for better performance.

7. What is middleware in Next.js and when would you use it?
Middleware in Next.js allows code to run before a request is completed. It's ideal for authentication, redirects, logging, or modifying requests. It runs at the Edge (CDN level) for faster responses.

8. What are API Routes in Next.js?
API Routes allow you to create backend endpoints in your application. Files under the pages/api/ directory become RESTful endpoints (e.g., pages/api/hello.js becomes /api/hello).

9. How do you handle errors in Next.js?
You can handle:

• Page-level errors using getStaticProps or getServerSideProps.
• Global errors using _error.js or the new error boundary in App Router.
• Runtime errors with try/catch blocks and custom logic in components.

10. How do you deploy a Next.js app to Vercel?
To deploy to Vercel:

ü  Push your code to GitHub.

ü  Connect your GitHub repo to Vercel.

ü  Vercel auto-detects Next.js and builds your project.

ü  You get a live URL and can manage environment variables, domains, and deployment settings via the Vercel dashboard.
