====== Introduction to NodeJs ======


==== What is Node.js? ====


Node.js is a runtime environment that allows you to execute JavaScript code outside of a browser. Built on the V8 JavaScript engine, it enables developers to build scalable and high-performance applications, particularly for backend development.

==== Key Features ====


**Non-blocking I/O:** Handles multiple requests asynchronously without waiting for previous ones to complete.

**Event-driven architecture:** Uses events and callbacks for handling operations efficiently.

**Single-threaded model:** Efficiently manages concurrent connections using the event loop.

**Cross-platform:** Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

**Rich Package Ecosystem:** Leverages npm, the largest package repository.
