Node.

js Interview Questions and Answers

1. What is Node.js?

Answer: Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes

JavaScript code outside a web browser. It uses the V8 engine and is designed for building scalable

network applications.

2. What are the key features of Node.js?

Answer: - Asynchronous and Event-driven

- Very fast (V8 engine)

- Single-threaded but highly scalable

- No buffering

- Cross-platform

3. How is Node.js different from JavaScript in the browser?

Answer: Node.js runs JavaScript on the server-side, while browser JavaScript runs on the

client-side. Node provides APIs for file system, HTTP, etc., which are not available in the browser.

4. What is the use of npm?

Answer: npm (Node Package Manager) is used to manage dependencies (libraries and packages)

in Node.js projects.

5. What is the difference between npm and npx?

Answer: npm installs packages, while npx executes packages without installing them globally.

6. What is the Event Loop in Node.js?

Answer: The event loop is a mechanism that handles asynchronous callbacks. It allows Node.js to

perform non-blocking I/O operations despite being single-threaded.

7. What are modules in Node.js?


Answer: Modules are reusable blocks of code. Node.js has built-in modules (fs, http, etc.),

third-party modules (via npm), and custom modules.

8. How do you export and import a module in Node.js?

Answer: Use `module.exports = value` to export and `require('module')` to import.

9. What is a callback function?

Answer: A callback is a function passed into another function to be executed later, often after an

async task.

10. What is package.json?

Answer: It is a metadata file that includes details like project name, version, scripts, and

dependencies.
