Node.js is a server-side software system designed for writing scalable Internet applications, notably web servers.

Programs are written on the server side in JavaScript, using event-driven, asynchronous I/O to minimize overhead and maximize scalability.

Node.js contains a built-in HTTP server library, making it possible to run a web server without the use of external software, such as Apache or Lighttpd, and allowing more control of how the web server works.

Node.js enables web developers to create an entire web application in JavaScript, both server-side and client-side.
