Node.js is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript outside of the browser. It is built on Chrome’s V8 engine and is designed for building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js enables developers to create servers, APIs, command-line tools, and full-stack web applications using a single programming language. Its non-blocking, event-driven architecture makes it highly efficient for handling concurrent requests. The ecosystem is supported by npm, one of the largest package managers, providing access to thousands of libraries and tools. Node.js is widely used for backend development, real-time applications, and microservices architectures.
