ABOUT
NODE JS
In the world of server-side JavaScript development, Node.js reigns supreme as an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment. Initially released in 2009, Node.js has revolutionized the way developers build scalable, high-performance applications. Unlike traditional server-side languages, Node.js employs a non-blocking, event-driven architecture, making it a go-to choice for real-time applications and APIs.
FEATURES
Non-Blocking I/O
Node.js operates on a single-threaded event loop, allowing it to handle a large number of concurrent connections without blocking execution. This non-blocking I/O model results in faster and more efficient applications.
JavaScript Everywhere
Node.js enables developers to use JavaScript on both the client and server sides, simplifying development by using a consistent language throughout the entire application stack.
Vibrant Ecosystem
Node Package Manager (NPM) boasts one of the most extensive collections of open-source libraries and packages. This rich ecosystem accelerates development by providing pre-built modules for common tasks.
Speed and Efficiency
Node.js is known for its speed. Its V8 JavaScript engine, developed by Google, compiles JavaScript code to machine code, delivering high-performance execution.
Real-Time Applications
Node.js excels in building real-time applications such as chat applications, online gaming, and collaborative tools. Its event-driven nature and low latency make it a top choice for these scenarios.
