Node JS is a single-threaded asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime environment for writing programs on the server and as a library. Node.js builds on Google’s V8 JavaScript Engine to enable a fast, scalable platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for efficient server-side scripting. A Node JS project runs in a single process and has threads, but only one thread can execute in parallel with the main event loop. This means Node JS is much more efficient at only allowing one thing to happen at a time Node JS is a powerful client-side JavaScript platform that is used for building real-time applications. Its main advantages include the ability to run JavaScript code in a single thread, which means that the program can run independently of other web pages and threads. Node JS also has asynchronous I/O capabilities, which significantly speeds up the processing of AJAX calls. Because Node JS uses its own set of native modules, it does not include any code that is specific to vanilla JavaScript objects and functions.
