Node.js is a leading-edge event-driven platform, which is used to set up scalable web applications. It is built with Google's V8 JavaScript Engine and it processes HTTP requests and responses between a server and an enormous number of Internet users much more effectively than any traditional platform. What makes Node.js one of a kind is the fact that in difference between conventional platforms that handle the info in sizeable hunks, it processes everything in little bits. As an illustration, when a user needs to fill a few fields on an Internet site, Node.js processes the information in the first field as soon as it is typed, utilizing the server’s processing power more effectively. In comparison, traditional platforms wait for all the fields to be filled and while the info from them is being processed, requests from other users stay 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 visiting a website simultaneously. A few instances of sites where Node.js can be used are online dinner reservation portals, web-based chat rooms or interactive browser game portals, i.e. sites that offer fast live communication.
