Why & When to use NodeJS?
Ever wonder how to decide when to use NodeJS? And why to use NodeJS?Why
Here is a list :-1. NodeJS is Super-fast (and Super cool too).
2. It is very lightweight.
3. Easy to configure.
4. Lots of modules available for free.
5. Using NodeJs you can create a server with few lines of code.
6. It is 90% faster than PHP Its event based single threaded non-blocking i/o model scales very well.
7. Using NodeJs, You can develop the application using a same language both on the client and server sides, This can save development time.
8. Is event-based so all the wonderful Ajax like stuff can be done on the server side.
When
1. When you'd like to maintain a persistent connection from the browser back to the server. (Called "long-polling")2. When you'll be reusing a lot of code across the client/server side.
3. When developing real-time applications: online games, analytics, chat rooms, or anything where results should be displayed immediately, without a page refresh.
4. When server side code requires very less cpu cycle, non blocking operation and does not have heavy algorithm which consumes lots of CPU cycle.
