About Node.js
Node.js runs JavaScript outside the browser on Chrome's high-performance V8 engine, letting you build fast servers, APIs, tools and full applications in the language you already know. Its non-blocking, event-driven model handles huge numbers of connections efficiently.
Bundled with npm, the world's largest package registry, Node gives you instant access to a million ready-made building blocks and a cross-platform runtime that ships everywhere.
