Node.js extracts the V8 JavaScript engine from Chrome, and adds batteries to it, like APIs for accessing files, accepting HTTP requests, and FFIs, to allow the use of libraries written in other languages, like SQLite. It also adds a package manager, npm, to make it easier to add more libraries and tooling when using Node.
You can think of it like Python, but for JavaScript.
Thank you for sharing!!
NodeJS is like a magic box that helps computer programmers use a special language called JavaScript. One of the important things inside this magic box is something called the V8 engine, which can take the instructions that programmers write in JavaScript and turn them into a language that computers can understand. This makes it easier for the computer to know what to do and to do it quickly.
That was informative... thank you so much for sharing!
