Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that need real-time interaction between a web server and the worldwide web users and can significantly speed up the overall performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly provides tiny bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills in a signup form, as soon as any information is inserted in one of the fields, it’s forwarded to the server even if the other fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In contrast, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one massive hunk of information is then sent to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website grows bigger and there’re numerous individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, real-time browser-based games or instant messaging software, for example, and many companies, including Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already implemented it in their services.
