1.
JavaScript Runtime:
• Node.js is built on the V8 JavaScript engine, which is the same engine used
by Google Chrome. This allows developers to write server-side code in
JavaScript, enabling full-stack JavaScript development.
2. Event-Driven Architecture:
• Node.js employs an event-driven architecture, where asynchronous events
trigger the execution of callback functions. This non-blocking I/O model
allows Node.js to handle multiple connections simultaneously without
blocking the execution of other code.
3. NPM (Node Package Manager):
• NPM is the default package manager for Node.js, providing a vast
ecosystem of reusable libraries and modules.
• Developers can use NPM to install, manage, and share packages, making it
easy to incorporate third-party functionality into Node.js applications.
4. Single-Threaded, Event Loop:
• Node.js operates on a single-threaded event loop, which handles
asynchronous I/O operations.
• While Node.js is single-threaded, it can handle concurrent connections
efficiently by delegating I/O tasks to worker threads and processing events
asynchronously.
5. Cross-Platform:
• Node.js is designed to run o
