Node JS Development
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript code on the server-side, outside of the browser. It was created by Ryan Dahl in 2009 and has since become one of the most popular technologies for building server-side applications. Node.js is built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine, which is known for its high performance.
Node.js enables the development of fast, scalable, and efficient applications, particularly suited for building real-time applications, APIs, and microservices.
