Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside a web browser. Known for its event-driven, non-blocking I/O model, Node.js enables efficient development of scalable network applications. It's particularly suited for building web servers, real-time applications, and APIs. The use of JavaScript on both the front end and back end streamlines development processes and enhances productivity. As my preferred environment for server-side scripting, Node.js stands out for its speed, scalability, and the vast npm ecosystem that provides numerous libraries and tools for developers.
