Node.js is a software platform built over the extremely fast Google’s V8 JavaScript engine. Being an open-source cross-platform server environment that can run on most operating systems, Node.js has been designed for developing server applications. The JavaScript-based paradigm of the platform unifies web app developers around a single programming language instead of using different languages for backend and frontend development.
The event-oriented architecture of Node.js enables to support asynchronous input/output, which is increasingly employed in modern applications. Due to its modular and bundles-oriented structure, Node.js has nearly the best mechanism for rapid assembling of the application from ready-made elements. In addition, it’s highly scalable.
Using JS and a set of modules that manage various key functions (file system, data streams, cryptography functions and many more), Node.js allows creating web servers and network tools. The modules use an API (Application Programming Interface) intended to facilitate the server app development process.
Like other high-level languages, Node.js also includes frameworks that greatly speed up the application development process. Express Sails.js and Meteor are the most popular ones.
As of 2023, over 42% of developers worldwide prefer Node.js to other web frameworks. This choice is stipulated by numerous platform advantages, including high performance due to fast data processing speed, strong technology stack, potential for scalability, support of multiple libraries and tools, corporate support and large developers’ community. In addition, Node.js application development allows building solutions that are fully capable of handling multiple client apps and allow forgetting about RAM limits.
