Node.js
Find out more about the capabilities of the Node.js instrument and how it can be used to enhance your web apps.
Node.js is an open-source, event-driven environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable web applications that need live interaction between a server and the Internet users and can noticeably enhance the overall performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly delivers tiny amounts of information. For example, if a new user fills a subscription form, once any information is inserted in one of the boxes, it is submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In contrast, conventional systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how small the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the site grows bigger and there’re plenty of people using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, real-time browser video games or web-based chat portals, for example, and numerous corporations, among them LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already implemented it in their services.
