Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side web applications built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. These applications are written in JavaScript and can be run within the Node.js runtime.

Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O (input/output) model that makes it lightweight and efficient as well as optimized for real-time web applications’ throughput and scalability.

Its work is hosted and supported by the Node.js Foundation, a collaborative project at Linux Foundation.
