Node.js comes with a Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) virtual environment that provides an interactive command line interface for testing JavaScript code. The REPL can be launched from the terminal and offers commands like .help to display help, tab to list commands, up/down arrows to see previous commands, and Ctrl+C to terminate the current command or exit the REPL. Additionally, the .save and .load commands allow saving the current REPL session to a file and loading a saved file.
