What is Nuxt?
Nuxt is an open-source, MIT-licensed framework built on Vue that adds file-based routing, server-side rendering, data fetching and a module ecosystem for full-stack web applications. In 2026 the NuxtLabs open-source team joined Vercel to continue developing Nuxt; the framework itself remains community-governed and free to use.

Key capabilities
- File-based routing: Pages and layouts derived from the project's file structure.
- Rendering modes: Server-side rendering, static generation or client-side rendering per route.
- Modules: A large ecosystem of official and community modules for common integrations.
Full-stack application structure for Vue projects, including routing, rendering and module integration, is its core area. Nuxt itself is free software; hosting and infrastructure remain separate choices.
Choose Nuxt when a team is building with Vue and wants an opinionated, batteries-included framework for routing, rendering and modules rather than assembling those pieces manually.
The framework and its documentation are free and open source, so evaluate it by prototyping your actual routing and rendering needs rather than relying on marketing claims about performance.
