Nuxt
What it is
Nuxt is an open-source meta-framework for web projects using JavaScript or TypeScript. It supports hybrid rendering, allowing applications to combine rendering modes within a project. The framework targets web deployment and can be deployed on self-hosted infrastructure. Nuxt is free, with a free plan, and its source is open-source. The project was founded in 2017. Developers can therefore use Nuxt as the application framework while selecting their own approaches for data modeling and sign-in. The project website is nuxt.com. Nuxt fits teams or individuals choosing JavaScript or TypeScript for a web application and evaluating whether hybrid rendering and self-hosted deployment match their setup.
