Node.js is an event-driven platform built with the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It is used for scalable apps that need real-time communication between a web server and the worldwide web users and can significantly improve the performance of any website that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers little amounts of information. For instance, if a new user fills in a registration form, the moment any info is inserted in one of the boxes, it’s sent to the server even if the other fields are not filled and the user has not clicked any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In contrast, other platforms wait for the entire form to be filled and one huge hunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the processing time may be, circumstances change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there are numerous users using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking portals, interactive web browser-based video games or online chat portals, for instance, and plenty of companies, among them LinkedIn, Yahoo and eBay, have already integrated it into their services.
