The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
The diploma thesis addresses a comparative analysis of two modern web frameworks, Next.js and SvelteKit. The purpose of the diploma thesis is to identify key differences between both frameworks and, based on the conducted comparison, formulate recommendations for their use in different types of web projects. The findings are based on secondary sources such as official documentation, professional articles and existing studies.
Solution and Method
The diploma thesis addresses a comparative analysis of two modern web frameworks, Next.js and SvelteKit. It focuses on architecture, developer experience, performance, security and practical usability.
Results
The purpose of the diploma thesis is to identify key differences between both frameworks and, based on the conducted comparison, formulate recommendations for their use in different types of web projects. The findings are based on secondary sources such as official documentation, professional articles and existing studies. The research is based on descriptive, comparative and analytical methods.
Through analysis of professional literature, official documentation and results of existing research, individual aspects of both frameworks are compared, with emphasis on their architectural characteristics, performance, security, developer experience and suitability for different types of projects. The theoretical part describes web application development, characteristics of both frameworks and modern approaches to rendering. This is followed by a comparison of architecture, performance, security, developer experience and practical usability.
The findings show that Next.js has a broader ecosystem and greater community support due to its connection with React. SvelteKit, however, is simpler, more accessible to beginners and less demanding on the system. In terms of performance, SvelteKit stands out with less demanding applications, whilst Next.js is more stable under greater loads.
Both frameworks have comparable security mechanisms, but differ in how much responsibility they leave to the developer. Based on the findings, recommendations for framework selection have been formulated. Next.js is more suitable for projects where search engine optimisations, work in larger teams and long-term maintainability are important.
SvelteKit is an excellent choice for smaller projects, prototypes, MVPs and teams where development speed and simplicity are priorities. The results of the comparative analysis present a concise overview of key characteristics of both frameworks and serve as assistance to developers, students and development teams in selecting an appropriate framework according to project requirements.
