Server Components (RSC) are still experimental but signal React’s future direction. They render on the server and send serialized React trees (not HTML) to the client.
Key Benefits
- Zero Bundle Size: Server Components don’t ship JS to the client.
- Direct Backend Access: They can read from databases/files directly.
- Streaming: Parts of the UI can load progressively.
Next.js 13 (later in 2022) will be the first mainstream framework to adopt RSC.
