Description

Node.js is an open-source, server-side runtime environment that allows developers to build and run JavaScript applications outside of a web browser.

It is built on the Chrome V8 JavaScript engine and provides an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that allows for scalable and efficient development of network and web applications.

Node.js enables developers to write server-side JavaScript, handle requests, perform file system operations, and interact with databases, among other things. It has gained significant popularity due to its performance, scalability, and rich ecosystem of libraries and frameworks.
