Node.js is a cutting-edge, open-source, event-driven, asynchronous input/output platform built for sites that support live interaction. Some examples of such sites are online browser-based game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. Node.js handles the info sent between the Internet site and its users in small bits, which accelerates the load speed and the performance of the site considerably. If some form with 3 boxes has to be filled out by a specific user, for example, typically all three boxes should be filled and their entire content is then sent as one large chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content in the first box is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, a lot more information can be handled a lot faster and more effectively compared to any other platform, which can exert a serious effect on the website’s overall performance. Node.js is already being used by some of the leading IT corporations such as Yahoo and Microsoft.
