Node.js
Learn more about the capabilities of the Node.js tool and how it can be used to enhance your web apps.
Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven system, which is used to develop scalable applications. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of users much more effectively than any other system. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms which process the information in huge chunks, it processes everything in little bits. For instance, if a user has to fill a few fields on a site, Node.js processes the info in the first field as soon as it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it absolutely does make a difference if an enormous number of people are visiting a website simultaneously. A few instances of sites where Node.js can be used are dining reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that need fast live interaction.
