In 2009, Ryan Dahl embedded chrome’s V8 engine (the most powerful and fastest) inside a C++ program and called it Node.įrom a developer’s perspective, Node.js looks asynchronous, event-driven, and single-threaded, although, under the hood, Libuv handles threading and the Event loop. Hence to connect your program to a database or to edit data, you need support from other server-side programming languages like PHP, Python, or Ruby. Node.js package ecosystem that is NPM (node package manager) is the largest ecosystem of the open source libraries in the world.īefore Node, developers were only able to run Javascript inside browsers. Node.js is open-source software (publicly accessible), cross-platform (different operating environment) Javascript runtime environment that runs on chrome’s V8 engine internally.Īs a result, Node.js allows developers to build server-side applications in Javascript developers can execute Javascript code outside the browser. However, it is written with the help of C++, C, and Javascript.
Many new developers mistake Nodejs for a programming language like C++ or python.
