Node.js
Why is Node.js so powerful? Why is it the perfect option for your next web application?
Node.js is an innovative, open-source, event-driven, input/output platform used for websites that support interactive communication. A few examples of such websites would be web-based browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation booking portals. Node.js handles the information exchanged between the Internet site and its visitors in little bits, which boosts the loading speed and the overall performance of the website considerably. When a certain form with 3 boxes should be filled by a specific user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and their entire content is then sent as one sizeable hunk of information to the server. With Node.js, the first box’s content is processed the moment it is entered, before the user types anything in the second box. In this way, a lot more information can be handled much faster and more effectively in comparison to any traditional system, which can exert a substantial influence on the site’s performance. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT companies like Microsoft and Yahoo.
