Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable apps. It’s built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and a huge number of Internet users more effectively than any other platform. What makes Node.js exceptional is the fact that in contrast to conventional platforms which handle the information in sizeable chunks, it handles everything in little bits. For example, if a user has to fill in a few fields on a website, Node.js handles the information in the first field once it’s inserted, utilizing the server processing time more effectively. In comparison, other platforms wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay in the queue. The difference may be negligible for one single person, but it surely does make a difference when an immense number of users are navigating a site all at once. Several instances of websites where Node.js can be used are dinner reservation portals, online chat rooms or interactive browser video game portals, in other words sites that need quick real-time interaction.
