Node.js
Node.js: A Powerful JavaScript Runtime Environment. Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. It allows developers to use JavaScript to write command line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server-side and client-side scripts.

About Node.js
1. Open-source and Cross-platform: Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows JavaScript to be executed outside of a web browser.
2. Non-blocking I/O Model: Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, making it lightweight and efficient. This model allows Node.js to handle thousands of concurrent connections with a single server without introducing the burden of managing thread concurrency.
3. V8 JavaScript Engine: Node.js is built on Google’s V8 JavaScript engine, which allows it to be very performant. This makes it possible to build both front-end and back-end applications using JavaScript.
