NodeJS is a very powerful JavaScript-based framework/platform built on Google Chrome's JavaScript V8 Engine. smartSense houses proficient NodeJS developers. Node.js is an open source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side and networking applications. Nodejs applications are written in JavaScript, and can be run within the Node.js runtime on OS X, Microsoft Windows, and Linux.
Nodejs also provides a rich library of various JavaScript modules which simplifies the development of web applications using Node.js to a great extent. Node.js = Runtime Environment + JavaScript Library
Is a command-line tool that can be run as a regular web server and lets one run JavaScript programs
Utilizes the great V8 JavaScript engine
Is very good when you need to do several things at the same time
Is event-based so all the wonderful Ajax-like stuff can be done on the server side
Allows to share code between the browser and the backend
Allows to communicate with MySQL
Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects.
All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.
Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution.
NodeJS development uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server.
Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks.
Node.js is released under the MIT license.
If you're looking for NodeJS developer then smartSense is the best to go for. NodeJS development is especially suited for applications where you'd like to maintain a persistent connection from the browser back to the server. Using a technique known as "long-polling", you can write an application that sends updates to the user in real time. Doing long polling on many of the web's giants, like Ruby on Rails or Django, would create immense load on the server, because each active client eats up one server process. This situation amounts to a tarpit attack. When you use something like Node.js, the server has no need of maintaining separate threads for each open connection.
This means you can create a browser-based chat application in Node.js that takes almost no system resources to serve a great many clients. Any time you want to do this sort of long-polling, NodeJS development is a great option. We provide Node JS developers for hire.
