Node.js
Discover more about the abilities of the Node.js software tool and how it can be used to boost your web applications.
Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to build scalable web apps. It’s built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it handles HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of online users more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js special is the fact that unlike traditional platforms that process the information in giant chunks, it processes everything in small bits. As an illustration, when a user has to fill in a couple of fields on a site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the moment it’s typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more efficiently. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be insignificant for one single person, but it undoubtedly does make a difference when a huge number of people are navigating a site at the very same time. Several examples of Internet sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner booking portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick real-time communication.
