-
Asynchronous and Event-Driven: Node.js APIs are designed to be non-blocking, enabling the server to process multiple requests without waiting for a single API call to complete. Responses are handled using an event-driven architecture, ensuring smooth and efficient execution.
-
High Performance: Built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine, Node.js delivers exceptionally fast code execution, making it ideal for performance-intensive applications.
-
Single-Threaded, Highly Scalable: Leveraging a single-threaded model with event looping, Node.js efficiently handles high volumes of concurrent requests without creating multiple threads, unlike traditional servers. This design allows it to scale much better than servers like Apache.
-
No Data Buffering: Node.js processes data in chunks and streams it directly, avoiding data buffering entirely, which improves memory efficiency and responsiveness.
