Using Next.js with Spring Boot APIs

Next.js works well with Spring Boot when the frontend treats the backend as the source of truth for content.

Recommended approach

  • Centralize fetch helpers in a single library
  • Reuse typed response shapes where possible
  • Add sensible fallbacks for local development
  • Use server components for initial content loading

Result

This gives you cleaner page components and makes it easier to move from local mock data to real APIs.
