Node.js is an open-source, event-driven system, which uses the Google V8 JavaScript engine. It’s used by scalable apps that need live communication between a server and the worldwide web users and can tremendously accelerate the overall performance of any Internet site that’s using it. Node.js is designed to process HTTP requests and responses and incessantly provides tiny bits of info. For instance, in case a new user fills in a subscription form, once any info is inserted in any of the boxes, it’s delivered to the server even if the other boxes are not filled out and the user has not clicked on any button, so the information is handled much faster. In contrast, other systems wait for the whole form to be filled and one big hunk of information is then forwarded to the server. No matter how tiny the difference in the information processing speed may be, circumstances change in case the Internet site grows bigger and there’re many persons using it at the same time. Node.js can be used for booking sites, interactive browser-based games or online chat programs, for instance, and a lot of companies, among them eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn, have already included it in their services.
