/ About /

Node.js is a free, open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment built on Chrome's V8 engine. It enables developers to run JavaScript outside the browser to build servers, web applications, command-line tools, and scripts. It is widely used for both backend development and tooling across the JavaScript ecosystem.

/ How it works /

Node.js executes JavaScript code using the V8 engine in a non-browser environment, providing built-in modules for networking, file I/O, and more.
