• A cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript for the creation of command-line tools, or for server-side scripting to produce dynamic web page content before a page is sent to the user’s web browser. Node.js represents a “JavaScript everywhere” paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for client- and server-side scripts. Node.js was released in 2009. ← Wikipedia ↑ nodejs.org
