Nodejs - taoualiw/My-Knowledge-Base GitHub Wiki

Node : - is an open source development platform for executing JavaScript code server-side.

• is useful for developing applications that require a persistent connection from the browser to the server and is often used for real-time applications such as chat, news feeds and web push notifications.
• has played a significant role in this shift of JavaScript from the browser to the desktop.
• has a Package Manager named NPM that gets installed automatically when Node is installed. A typical Node package consists of JavaScript files together with a file called package.json which is the manifest file for this node module.
• is based on the JavaScript runtime engine that has been built for the Chrome browser (V8 JavaScript Engine).
• is built around an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model which makes it very efficient to run asynchronous JavaScript programs on the desktop.
