Evolution of Server Rendering and Client Side Interactivity

The evolution from server-side rendering to client-side interactivity has been significant over the years. In the past, tools like ASP.NET MVC or PHP enabled server rendering, requiring a handoff to scripts like jQuery for client-side interactions. React introduced a component model that worked seamlessly on both server and client sides, with frameworks like Next further simplifying tasks like hydration. Current advancements in React focus on streamlining data access and shifting more responsibilities to the server, creating a more sophisticated blend of server-side rendering with integrated client-side interactivity.
