NodeJs

By definition, Node.js is an open-source cross-platform server-side runtime environment built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, which executes JavaScript code outside of a web browser. But what exactly does all of this mean?

Put more simply, Node is a framework that allows us to run JavaScript on the server. Let’s take a closer look and flush out exactly what Node is and why you should understand it.

Many leading websites that you likely use regularly, from Netflix to Uber, use Node. It makes sense to use Node purely due to the powerful, user-friendly performance benefits. Add in the simple and invaluable implementation of libraries to create a rich network of features that manage everything from data to routing, and even animation - it’s easy to see why Node is an indispensable tool.
