Node.js is an avant-garde event-driven system, which is used to create scalable web apps. It uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes requests and responses between a web server and an enormous number of online users more efficiently than any conventional system. What makes Node.js unique is the fact that unlike conventional platforms that process the info in sizeable hunks, it handles everything in tiny bits. As an illustration, when a user has to fill in a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js handles the information in the first field the moment it’s inserted, utilizing the server’s processing resources more effectively. In contrast, traditional systems wait for all the fields to be filled out and while the information from them is being processed, requests from other users remain in the queue. The difference may be negligible for a single user, but it indeed does make a difference when an enormous number of people are navigating a website at the same time. A few instances of Internet sites where Node.js can be applied are dinner reservation portals, chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. websites that offer quick real-time interaction.
