Node.js is an event-driven platform, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used by scalable apps that require real-time interaction between a web server and the Internet users and can significantly improve the performance of any Internet site that uses it. Node.js is intended to process HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly delivers little amounts of info. For example, if a new user fills out a registration form, the moment any info is inserted in one of the fields, it’s submitted to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user hasn’t clicked any button, so the information is handled a whole lot faster. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one giant hunk of information is then delivered to the server. No matter how small the difference in the processing speed may be, circumstances change if the Internet site grows bigger and there’re a lot of persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking websites, real-time web browser-based games or web-based chat platforms, for example, and a lot of companies, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already included it in their services.
