Node.js is an open-source, event-driven platform built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It’s used for scalable applications that require real-time interaction between a server and the online users and can noticeably boost the performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to handle HTTP web requests and responses and incessantly provides small bits of information. For instance, in case a new user fills in a subscription form, the moment any information is entered in one of the fields, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is handled a lot faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how little the difference in the processing time may be, things change if the Internet site expands and there are a lot of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used for booking sites, real-time web browser games or instant messaging apps, for example, and many companies, among them LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already incorporated it into their services.
