Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable web applications that require real-time interaction between a web server and the Internet users and can tremendously improve the performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly supplies little amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills a registration form, the moment any information is entered in one of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the rest of the boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the information is processed much faster. In contrast, other platforms wait for the entire form to be filled out and one big hunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change if the site expands and there’re lots of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking websites, interactive web browser-based video games or live chat apps, for instance, and plenty of corporations, including eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already included it in their services.
