# Get started with Web SDK

Nutrient Web SDK provides a suite of features to work with documents and can be run entirely in the browser (standalone mode). Choose a framework to get started, or explore the various use cases.

**Getting Started Guides for web:**

- [React + Vite](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/web/getting-started/react-vite.md)

- [Next.js](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/web/getting-started/nextjs.md)

- [TypeScript](https://www.nutrient.io/sdk/web/getting-started/typescript.md)

## Document Engine

Web SDK can also be used alongside our dedicated backend, Document Engine. This mode offers additional capabilities, such as better performance by delegating complex computations to the backend, out-of-box syncing, and more.

Document Engine supports both self-hosted and managed deployments via Nutrient.

Available deployment options of Web viewer with Document Engine:
