NodeJS is an open source framework used by many developers for free. It is a server-side platform built on Google Chrome’s JavaScript V8 engine. This engine takes your JavaScript code and converts it into faster machine code. So, having some JavaScript knowledge is essential while building a NodeJS website. NodeJS has a very fast code execution. NodeJS is asynchronous in that instead of waiting for returned data, the serve moves on to the next call. It never buffers any data but outputs data in chunks. It is single-threaded and highly scalable which means it can provide a much larger number of services than traditional servers.
