Node.js is an event-driven runtime environment, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used by scalable web applications that need live interaction between a web server and the online users and can noticeably speed up the overall performance of any site that uses it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and ceaselessly provides small bits of information. For instance, if a new user fills a registration form, as soon as any information is inserted in one of the boxes, it’s forwarded to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled and the user hasn’t clicked on any button, so the info is handled a lot faster. In contrast, conventional platforms wait for the whole form to be filled and one sizeable chunk of information is then delivered to the server. Irrespective of how tiny the difference in the processing speed may be, things change if the site grows bigger and there are many individuals using it at the same time. Node.js can be used by booking portals, real-time browser-based games or instant messaging clients, for instance, and lots of corporations, among them eBay, LinkedIn and Yahoo, have already included it in their services.
