What is Node.js ?

Hi Developer,

This article will learn about Node.js .
 

Introduction: Node.js is an open-source and cross-platform runtime environment built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine for executing JavaScript code outside of a browser. You need to recollect that NodeJS isn’t a framework, and it’s not a programing language. It provides an event-driven, non-blocking (asynchronous) I/O and cross-platform runtime environment for building highly scalable server-side applications using JavaScript.

Node.js allows you to run JavaScript on the server.

Most people are confused and understand it’s a framework or a programing language. We often use Node.js for building back-end services like APIs, Web App, or Mobile App. It’s utilized in production by large companies like Paypal, Uber, Netflix, Walmart, etc.
 

What can you build with Node.js? 

Node.js is incredibly versatile. Developers use it to build traditional websites and backend services like APIs. It’s also used for chat applications, streaming services like Netflix, command-line applications, single and multiplayer games that work directly with your browser, and more.
