Node.js
Learn more about the capabilities of the Node.js instrument and how it could be used to boost your web applications.
Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web apps that need real-time communication between a server and the Internet users and can considerably boost the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small amounts of info. For instance, in case a new user fills a signup form, as soon as any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is sent to the server even if the remaining boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, traditional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one huge hunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change if the site grows bigger and there’re lots of persons using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by online reservation portals, interactive browser video games or online chat platforms, for example, and many corporations, including LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already implemented it in their services.
