## The idea behind the example

<!-- #host-reference -->

This is the reference implementation of the [Server Rendering tutorial](https://mui.com/material-ui/guides/server-rendering/).

The example project includes `@mui/material` and its peer dependencies, including [Emotion](https://emotion.sh/docs/introduction), the default style engine in Material UI.
If you prefer, you can [use styled-components instead](https://mui.com/material-ui/integrations/interoperability/#styled-components).

## What's next?

<!-- #host-reference -->

You now have a working example project.
You can head back to the documentation and continue by browsing the [templates](https://mui.com/material-ui/getting-started/templates/) section.
