Introduction To NodeJS

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to build server-side web applications using JavaScript. It uses a single-threaded, event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, optimized for real-time web applications. The V8 JavaScript engine converts JavaScript code to machine code for fast execution. Some key benefits of Node.js include asynchronous programming, real-time interactions, scalability, and using a single programming language on both the front-end and back-end.

Need of Node JS
➢ Before Node.js web apps were written in a client/server model, in which the client would demand
certain resources from the server, and get those resources in response. The server only reacted
when the client made a request, and then closed the connection right after each response.

➢ In 2009, Ryan Dahl introduced a new approach to server-side runtime written in JavaScript. It
enables requesting in and out of the web server (I/O) to be processed concurrently and
asynchronously using a concept called non-blocking, or asynchronous I/O. That’s how Node.js has
started.

➢ Basically, a Node.js app runs in a single process, without creating a new thread for every request. It
makes such apps very efficient, mostly thanks to the V8 JavaScript engine which powers Node.js
(and also happens to be the core of Google Chrome). The engine takes the JavaScript code and
converts it into lower level or machine code - which don’t need to be interpreted first in order to be
run. Then, running code on the server this way actually increases the processing speed.
Difference Between Traditional and Node Server
Node JS

Node.js is a runtime environment that allows software developers to launch both the frontend and backend
of web apps using JavaScript.

Although JS underpins all the processes for app assembly, as a backend development environment,
Node.js, differs from the frontend environment.

It has unique APIs that support HTTP requests, file systems and other server-side features for which
frontend APIs provide limited support.
Features of Node JS
➢ Node JS is an Open Source
➢ Node JS runs on various machines like Windows , Mac , Linux etc
➢ Node JS allows use to use Java Script as Server Side Language
➢ Node JS allows us to Create , Read , Update , Delete files and folders on Server
➢ Easy to communicate with database
➢ Asynchronous and Event Driven
➢ Very Fast
➢ Single Threaded but Highly Scalable

❖ Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine.

Latest Version : 14
Why Use NODE JS
➢ An I/O non-blocking model allows for serving multiple simultaneous requests, ensuring easy scaling and
prompt execution of client requests on high-load platforms.

➢ With a growing number of online users demanding the most relevant information and services at their
fingertips, the Node.js runtime environment’s flexibility and responsiveness are key merits required by
modern web apps.

➢ Node.js language is spoken by both frontend and backend developers, which makes for a more
effective and better-coordinated working environment, and eliminates the need to explain how certain
features work or what certain code means. Small projects can be handled by a single full-stack team,
saving time and money.
Chrome V8 Java Script Engine
➢ V8 is Google’s open source high-performance JavaScript and Web Assembly engine, written in C++.

➢ It is used in Chrome and in Node.js, among others. It implements ECMAScript and Web Assembly , and
runs on Windows 7 or later and other operating systems

➢ Chrome V8 engine is a high performance JavaScript Engine , Written in C++ and used in Google
Chrome

➢ Computers can only understand Machine Language Not Java script objects or HTML

➢ V8 Engine can also be embedded into C++

➢ Node JS is written in C++


Chrome V8 Java Script Engine
➢ A Java Script ( V8 ) converts Java Script into Machine understandable language

Java Script

C++ | Node | V8

Top Node.JS Apps
➢ PayPal
➢ Netflix
➢ Uber
➢ LinkedIn
➢ Ebay
➢ Mozilla
➢ Microsoft
➢ IBM
