Node.js
Learn more about the capabilities of the Node.js tool and how it could be used to boost your web applications.
Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous I/O platform meant for sites that support real-time interaction. Some instances of such sites would be online browser-based game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js processes the info exchanged between the site and its users in small bits, which boosts the load speed and the overall performance of the website considerably. When a certain form with three boxes has to be filled by a particular user, for example, usually all three boxes should be filled out and the entire content is then forwarded as one huge hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed once it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, a lot more info can be processed much faster and more effectively compared with any conventional system, which can have a considerable effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by many of the largest IT corporations such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
