About:
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. It enables developers to run JavaScript on the server-side, allowing for the creation of scalable network applications. It features an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient.
Key Features:
  • Asynchronous I/O and event-driven architecture
  • Built-in package manager (npm)
  • Single-threaded with event loop for concurrency
  • Cross-platform support
Use Cases:
  • Building scalable web servers and APIs
  • Developing command-line interface (CLI) tools
  • Creating real-time applications like chat services
Alternatives:
  • Deno – Modern successor to Node.js with built-in TypeScript support and security-first model
  • Bun – High-performance runtime using Zig, offering faster startup and execution speeds
