Node_JS_Presentation

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment that allows JavaScript to run outside the browser, built on Google's V8 engine. It features an asynchronous, event-driven architecture that supports scalable server-side applications and real-time applications, with a rich ecosystem provided by npm. While it offers high performance and ease of use for JavaScript developers, it has limitations such as a single-threaded model that may not suit CPU-intensive tasks and potential issues with callback complexity.

Introduction to Node.

js

A runtime for building scalable,


server-side applications
What is Node.js?
• • Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform
runtime environment.
• • It allows JavaScript to run outside the
browser.
• • Built on Google's V8 JavaScript engine.
• • Commonly used for building scalable server-
side and networking applications.
Features of Node.js
• • Asynchronous and Event-Driven.
• • Fast Execution with V8 Engine.
• • Single-Threaded but Scalable.
• • Rich Ecosystem with npm (Node Package
Manager).
• • Supports Real-Time Applications.
Architecture of Node.js
• • Event-Driven Architecture: Handles multiple
client requests efficiently.
• • Single-Threaded Event Loop: Manages non-
blocking I/O operations.
• • V8 Engine: Compiles JavaScript to native
machine code.
Use Cases of Node.js
• • Building RESTful APIs.
• • Developing Real-Time Applications (e.g.,
Chat Apps).
• • Server-Side Rendering.
• • Creating Microservices.
• • IoT Applications.
Advantages of Node.js
• • High Performance for Scalable Applications.
• • Large Community and Ecosystem.
• • Easy to Learn for JavaScript Developers.
• • Cross-Platform Compatibility.
Disadvantages of Node.js
• • Single-Threaded Model may not be ideal for
CPU-intensive tasks.
• • Callback Hell: Complex nested callbacks can
make code difficult to read.
• • Lack of Strong Typing: May lead to runtime
errors.
Popular Applications Built with
Node.js
• • Netflix
• • LinkedIn
• • Walmart
• • Uber
• • Trello
