What is the App Router?

The App Router uses the /app directory and introduces Server Components, Nested Layouts, and Streaming.

Getting Started

Create your first page in app/page.tsx: ``tsx export default function HomePage() { return

Hello, App Router!

; }
``

Why Use the App Router?

Better performance through server-side rendering by default and reduced client-side JavaScript.
