The Howdy Glossary

Nuxt.js is an open-source application framework for developing universal Vue.js applications. The framework simplifies the development process by providing a basic structure that follows best practices. Nuxt.js can create static generated sites, single-page applications (SPAs), server-side rendered (SSR) applications, and traditional multi-page web apps with little configuration. Its modular architecture allows for more straightforward development of production-ready projects without the need to reinvent common functionalities such as routing or state management libraries. Nuxt.js offers built-in features like automatic code-splitting, prefetching and preloading of pages, along with server-side rendering to improve performance and SEO capabilities across different devices and platforms. These attributes make Nuxt.js a popular choice among developers building complex front-end applications using Vue.js as it provides strong SSR support while maintaining SPAs' flexibility when needed.
