Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable web applications that require real-time interaction between a web server and the Internet users and can substantially accelerate the performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills out a signup form, the moment any information is inserted in one of the fields, it is submitted to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the info is processed a lot faster. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Regardless of how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the website grows bigger and there are many persons using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by online booking portals, interactive web browser video games or live chat portals, for example, and a lot of corporations, among them Yahoo, eBay and LinkedIn, have already incorporated it into their services.
