Node.js is an open-source, event-driven runtime environment built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used for scalable applications that need live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the overall performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly supplies small amounts of info. For example, in case a new user fills a signup form, the second any information is inserted in one of the fields, it’s delivered to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In contrast, traditional systems wait for the entire form to be filled out and one huge chunk of information is then sent to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change when the Internet site grows bigger and there’re numerous users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking websites, interactive web browser-based games or web-based chat clients, for example, and lots of corporations, including eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already integrated it into their services.
