WHAT IS NODE.JS?
Node.js is an open-source JavaScript runtime environment and a cross-platform that runs on Windows, macOS, Linus, and many more. Node.js runs on the V8 JavaScript engine and executes JavaScript codes on the web browser.
Node.js allows developers to write and execute JavaScript command line tools for server-side scripting. It allows efficient usage of memory by running single-threaded, non-blocking, and asynchronous programming.
WHO CREATED NODE.JS?
Node.js was created by Ryan Dahl of the OpenJS Foundation on May 27, 2009, and It was licensed by MIT.
A TYPICAL OPERATION ON NODE.JS COMPARE TO TRADITION SERVER-SIDE TECHNOLOGIES
Node.js handles a file request by performing the following tasks:
Sends the task to the computer’s file system.
Then ready to handle the next request.
And when the file system has opened and read the file, then the server returns the content to the client.
Therefore, Node.js eliminates the waiting process and rather, it continues with the next request.
WHY IS NODE.JS IMPORTANT?
Node.js can create, open, read, write, delete, and close files on the server.
Node.js can collect form data
Node.js can add, delete, and modify data in the database
Node.js can generate dynamic page content.
HOW CAN NODE.JS BE USED IN BLOCKCHAIN DEVELOPMENT
Node.js is commonly used by developers for blockchain development due to its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, which makes it well-suited for handling the distributed and decentralized nature of blockchain networks.
Node.js provides libraries and tools that enable developers to build blockchain applications efficiently and quickly. It also has a large number of active developers contributing to the community by providing resources in other for new developers to learn and develop blockchain applications.
