# Modern Web Development: Next.js 14 and React Server Components

The world of web development is constantly evolving. The innovations that come with Next.js 14, especially React Server Components, significantly enhance developer experience and performance.

## Next.js 14 Innovations

### App Router Became Stable
The App Router, introduced as beta in Next.js 13, is now production ready. This new routing system offers:

- File-based routing: Automatic route creation with folder structure

### React Server Components
Server Components create a paradigm shift in React applications:

jsx
// Server Component - runs on server
async function BlogPost({ slug }) {
const post = await fetchPost(slug)

return (

{post.title}


{post.content}



)
}


### Performance Improvements
