About

As an asynchronous event-driven JavaScript runtime, Node.js is designed to build scalable network applications. Upon each connection, the callback is fired, but if there is no work to be done, Node.js will sleep. This is in contrast to today's more common concurrency model, in which OS threads are employed. Thread-based networking is relatively inefficient and very difficult to use. Furthermore, users of Node.js are free from worries of dead-locking the process, since there are no locks. Almost no function in Node.js directly performs I/O, so the process never blocks except when the I/O is performed using synchronous methods of Node.js standard library. Because nothing blocks, scalable systems are very reasonable to develop in Node.js. Node.js is similar in design to, and influenced by, systems like Ruby's Event Machine and Python's Twisted. Node.js takes the event model a bit further. It presents an event loop as a runtime construct instead of as a library.

About

Unirest is a set of lightweight HTTP libraries available in multiple languages, built and maintained by Kong, who also maintains the open-source API Gateway Kong. To utilize Unirest for node.js install the npm module. You're probably wondering how using Unirest makes creating requests easier. Besides automatically supporting gzip, and parsing responses, you can start with basic examples. A request can be initiated by invoking the appropriate method on the Unirest object, then calling .end() to send the request. Alternatively, you can send the request directly by providing a callback along with the URL. Provides simple and easy-to-use methods for manipulating the request prior to being sent. This object is created when a Unirest method is invoked. This object contains methods that are chainable like other libraries such as jQuery and popular request module Superagent (which this library is modeled after slightly).
