Node.js
Learn more about the abilities of the Node.js tool and how it could be used to boost your web apps.
Node.js is an event-driven environment built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used by scalable web apps that require live communication between a server and the online users and can noticeably boost the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly supplies tiny amounts of information. For example, in case a new user fills a signup form, the second any information is entered in one of the boxes, it’s delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In comparison, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled out and one giant chunk of information is then forwarded to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there are many users using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking portals, real-time web browser video games or live chat clients, for instance, and plenty of corporations, among them Yahoo, LinkedIn and eBay, have already included it in their services.
