Next.js
Next.js is an open-source web development framework created by Vercel enabling React-based web
applications with server-side rendering and generating static websites.
React documentation mentions Next.js among "Recommended Toolchains" advising it to developers as
a solution when "Building a server-rendered website with Node.js". Where traditional React apps
can only render their content in the client-side browser, Next.js extends this functionality to include
applications rendered on the server-side.
The copyright and trademarks for Next.js are owned by Vercel which also maintains and leads its open-source development.

React.js
React (also known as React.js or ReactJS) is a free and open-source front-end JavaScript library
for building user interfaces based on UI components. It is maintained by Meta (formerly Facebook)
and a community of individual developers and companies. React can be used as a base in
the development of single-page, mobile, or server-rendered applications with frameworks like Next.js.
However, React is only concerned with state management and rendering that state to the DOM,
so creating React applications usually requires the use of additional libraries for routing,
as well as certain client-side functionality

Node.js
Node.js is an open-source server environment. Node.js is cross-platform and runs on Windows, Linux,
Unix, and macOS.
Node.js is a back-end JavaScript runtime environment. Node.js runs on the V8 JavaScript Engine
and executes JavaScript code outside a web browser.
Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting.
The functionality of running scripts server-side produces dynamic web page content before the page
is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a
"JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web-application development
around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server-side and
client-side scripts.
