Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a web browser. It allows developers to use JavaScript to build server-side applications and is widely used for building scalable network applications.

🌱 Key Features of Node.js

  • Asynchronous I/O: Non-blocking operations for efficient handling of multiple requests
  • Event-Driven Architecture: Callback-based model for real-time responsiveness
  • Single-Threaded: Uses an event loop to manage concurrency
  • Rich Ecosystem: Over 1 million packages available via npm
  • Lightweight and Fast: Optimized for performance and resource efficiency

🚀 Use Cases

  • Building APIs and backend services
  • Real-time applications (e.g., chat apps, collaboration tools)
  • Command-line tools and automation scripts
  • Microservices and distributed systems
