What is Node.js ?

Node.js is a javascript based server side platform which let
Javascript to be executed outside of the WebBrowser.

It is an virtual server runtime which expects HttpRequest and returns
HttpResponses that can  be HTML,Raw String or JSON.

Node.js is based on Asynchronous approach.
i.e it can handle multiple users at the same time.

Node.js makes the application more optimized & faster in response.


Node.js   = JavaScript Library + Runtime Environment[Platform]
           document,window,console

which is a built in module.


==========================
Sample Code:
==========================

//loading the http module
const http = require('http');

//Specifying HTTP Listener PORT
const port = 3000;

//create a virtual server using http module
http.createServer((req,res)=>{
    //Setting up the response Type....
    res.writeHead(200,{'Content-Type':'text/html'});
    res.write("<h1>Hello, Welcome to Node.js</h1>");
    res.write("<p>Hello World</p>");
    res.end('');
}).listen(port);

console.log(`Server has started at ${port}`);
