Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to execute JavaScript code outside of a web browser. By leveraging the V8 engine developed by Google, Node.js enables the creation of highly scalable and efficient network applications. It operates on a non-blocking, event-driven architecture, which makes it suitable for real-time applications with high concurrency, such as chat applications, online gaming, and live streaming. Additionally, Node.js has a vast ecosystem of libraries and modules accessible through npm (Node Package Manager), enhancing its functionality and simplifying development. Its versatility and efficiency have made it a popular choice among developers for both server-side and client-side development, bridging the gap between front-end and back-end programming.
