React Router v7 (Remix), Next.js, or SvelteKit: what’s different in 2026

A LogRocket comparison maps practical differences between React Router v7 (formerly Remix), Next.js, and SvelteKit—covering project scaffolding, file-based routing conventions, and server-side data loading.

LogRocket compared React Router v7 (formerly Remix), Next.js, and SvelteKit as full-stack options for SSR-style apps.

  • Remix’s approach is now framed through React Router v7, which brings server-capable routing and data primitives into the React Router model.
  • Scaffolding commands differ: create-react-router@latest (React Router v7), create-next-app@latest (Next.js), and sv create (SvelteKit).
  • React Router v7’s starter flow includes deployment templates targeting hosts like Netlify, Cloudflare, Fly.io, and Vercel.
  • All three rely on file-based routing, but conventions vary: Next.js splits between the App Router (app/.../page.js) and a legacy Pages Router (pages/...), while SvelteKit standardizes on +page.svelte route files.
  • Server data loading patterns differ by framework: React Router uses loader + useLoaderData, Next.js uses params/searchParams in the App Router (or getServerSideProps in the Pages Router), and SvelteKit uses a load function alongside a +page.(js|ts) module.
