Node.js
Discover more about the abilities of the Node.js instrument and how it could be used to enhance your web apps.
Node.js is an innovative event-driven platform, which is used to develop scalable Internet apps. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a large number of users more effectively than any conventional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms which handle the info in giant hunks, it handles everything in small bits. As an illustration, if a user has to fill several fields on a site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the second it’s entered, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In contrast, conventional systems wait for all the fields to be filled and while the information in them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single person, but it surely does make a difference if a large number of users are visiting a website at the very same time. Several examples of websites where Node.js can be employed are dining reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser-based game portals, in other words websites that offer quick live communication.
