What is Node.js?

Since 2009 when it was introduced, Node JS has played an important role in the development of modern dynamic websites. Node.js is a free, open-source, cross-platform, backend JavaScript runtime environment running on the JavaScript engine to execute JavaScript code outside the browser mainly to handle the network request and the code that is running on the servers.

By installing Node.js, we are also installing NPM (Node Package Manager, above node +v6). As the name suggests NPM is a node package manager, that helps a developer manage all the packages, installation, and uninstallation with just a simple command line command.

Node.js is somewhat similar to ASP.NET and PHP but due to its asynchronous nature, it is faster. Unlike PHP and ASP, after sending the request node.js does not wait for the response from the server instead it is ready to take the second request and as soon as the response comes, it delivers the response to the client.

Advantages of Node.js:

  • Free, open-source, and cross-platform.
  • Faster than PHP and ASP.NET.
  • Built-in package manager (NPM).
  • Lightweight.
  • Build on JavaScript runtime environment (JS Engine).

Applications of Node.js:

  • Used for a network requests.
  • Used as a backend language.
  • Used to run JavaScript code outside the browser (Server).
  • Used for building dynamic websites.

You may also like:

In order to download, install and use node.js in your system just follow the given steps:
  • Visit the official website from here Node JS.
  • If you are a Windows user directly click on the button that says LTS (like: 16.17.1 LTS) this is the safest version. The other button that says Current (like: 18.9.1 Current) can also be installed but, it is very likely to get bugs or breakdown. So it is recommended to download the LTS version only.
  • If you are a Linux or Mac user click on the other downloads link beneath the LTS button and download the executable file according to your machine.
  • Once the download is completed, double click on the executable file and give the necessary permissions, after that just follow the on-screen instruction to install the node.js successfully on your machine.

Note: If you are a beginner then don't change the default settings during the installation. Keep the setting as it is. If you have any confusion or doubt then watch my installation video on YouTube here How to install Node.js on Windows 10.
