About:
Node.js 14 is a Long-Term Support (LTS) version of the JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine. It enables developers to build scalable network applications and server-side tools using JavaScript outside of a web browser. Its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model makes it efficient for data-intensive real-time applications.
Key Features:
  • V8 JavaScript Engine
  • Event-driven, Non-blocking I/O Architecture
  • npm Package Manager Ecosystem
  • Long-Term Support (LTS) until April 2023
  • Built-in HTTP/S and File System Libraries
Use Cases:
  • Building RESTful APIs and backend services
  • Developing real-time applications like chats and gaming servers
  • Creating command-line tools and build scripts
  • Server-side rendering for web applications
Alternatives:
  • node – Current stable release with active support, whereas node@14 is a specific, older LTS version.
  • deno – Modern runtime by Node's original creator, with built-in security and TypeScript support.
