Node.js is an event-driven system, which uses Google's V8 JavaScript Engine. It is used for scalable apps that need live interaction between a server and the worldwide web users and can noticeably boost the performance of any site that’s using it. Node.js is intended to handle HTTP requests and responses and constantly provides small bits of information. For example, if a new user fills out a subscription form, the second any information is inserted in one of the boxes, it’s submitted to the server even if the rest of the fields are not filled out and the user has not clicked any button, so the information is processed a whole lot faster. In comparison, other platforms wait for the whole form to be filled out and one giant chunk of information is then sent to the server. Regardless of how little the difference in the information processing time may be, circumstances change if the website expands and there’re a lot of individuals using it simultaneously. Node.js can be used by booking websites, interactive web browser video games or live chat programs, for example, and many companies, including LinkedIn, eBay and Yahoo, have already incorporated it into their services.
