We’ll look at what it is, why it’s important, and how you can use it to your benefit.
What Is Node.js?
Node.js is a platform that allows developers to build web applications using JavaScript. JavaScript is a programming language that is used to develop applications such as web pages and web services. Node.js enables the use of JavaScript outside of the browser environment by rendering code on the server side as well. The core goal of the framework is to allow developers to write asynchronous code in a similar way as synchronous code. The main features of Node.js are a non-blocking I/O API, support for callbacks, and event loops.
The asynchronous behavior of Node.js is accomplished by event callbacks, which are established with the use of functions, data structures called event emitter, and the scheduling of an internal timer loop. The event emitter allows data to pass between the caller and callee in real-time like events; timers and listeners are established to handle data in a later time. An event loop is designed to run each queued timer callback in turn, using non-blocking I/O operations that launch when no callbacks are pending.
It’s a solution for creating fast and scalable network applications that run on Google Chrome’s V8 engine. Its aim is to provide an environment where JavaScript can be inserted into the server-side code environment and be executed on the server side in order to perform computations for the client-side code running on a web browser.
In short, Node.js runs JavaScript outside the browser (JavaScript on the server) and uses non-blocking I/O operations for maximum scalability (many connections at once).
Why Node.JS Is Important?
Node.js is a platform based on JavaScript that allows developers to build scalable network applications in a short time. Is very popular among developers because it is lightweight and simple to use, however, its capabilities go far beyond those points. For example, it enables real-time communication between servers and browsers using Web Sockets, or it provides an asynchronous interface with callbacks. This means that it can handle multiple requests at once without creating any type of bottleneck in your process load management system or server configuration. It’s used in many companies because it allows developers to develop software quickly without being tied up by problems with traditional load management systems that usually slow down programming efforts by
