Node.js is a leading-edge, event-driven asynchronous input/output platform devised for sites that support real-time interaction. Some instances of such sites are online browser game portals, web-based chat rooms or accommodation reservation portals. The platform processes the information sent between the website and its users in small bits, which accelerates the load speed and the overall performance of the website substantially. If some form with three boxes is expected to be filled out by a specific user, for example, ordinarily all three boxes should be filled and the whole content is then delivered as one huge chunk of information to the web server. With Node.js, the content of the first box is processed the second it is entered, before the user writes anything in the second box. In this way, much more info can be processed a lot faster and more effectively compared to any conventional system, which can have a substantial effect on the performance of the site. Node.js is already being used by many of the largest IT corporations like Microsoft and Yahoo.
