Node.js is an innovative, event-driven non-blocking I/O system intended for sites which offer real-time interaction. A few instances of such websites would be online browser-based game portals, live chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the info transmitted between the site and its visitors in tiny bits, which accelerates the loading speed and the overall performance of the website considerably. If a given form with three boxes has to be filled by a user, for instance, typically all three boxes should be filled out and the whole content is then forwarded as one huge hunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the moment it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second one. Thus, a lot more info can be handled much faster and more efficiently as opposed to any traditional platform, which can exert an immense influence on the overall performance of the site. Node.js is already being employed by some of the top IT companies such as Microsoft and Yahoo.
