“Node.js is taking over the entire enterprise market” this is what most of the industry experts are buzzing over the internet.
Node.js being an open source technology has gained great prestige in the tech world with its real-time applications successfully working for most of the enterprises like Netflix LinkedIn and Uber.
The technology is light to code and is easily scalable over any platform to execute its code. With the features like an event-driven model, the apps developed in Node.js could handle multiple client requests and process it within minutes to respond back - a perfect suit for any application focusing on the client-server model.
If you are planning to develop an application at the enterprise level, as per our research, it's good to put your trust in Node.js and take advantage of its capabilities. Here is some of our research on why one should consider Node.js to develop their mobile or web app.
Node.js is an event-driven I/O infrastructure for the JavaScript engine V8 used at UNIX-like platforms.
This is a programming environment that enables building heavy-weight complicated applications by means of a light-weight elegant engine.
Node.js is an open-source cross-platform tool that allows developers to create both web applications and server ones on the go using JavaScript alone irrespective of operating systems.
One of the main capabilities of Node.js is to support and control one or another type of framework.Frameworks belong to the development tools that help programmers scale up their projects while the development process becomes simpler and faster.
Thanks to frameworks a lot of repeating operations can be automated.
Node.js web frameworks offer well-stocked libraries with frequently used elements to make programming procedures fewer.
What do you think about Node.js 8 and its latest features?
Are you in the search of a better resource that can give you complete information on this?
If yes, then you have come to the right place. This blog post will give you complete information about the new version of Node.js, Node.js 8. It is an entirely new version of Node.js. The codename of the new release is Carbon and is heading towards becoming an LTS (long-term support) in October 2017 and will be maintained till December 31st, 2019. The version has come up with an exciting and unique range of features and some great opportunities to mobile app developers.
Necessary Node.js 8 Features:
Node.js 8 comes with npm 5
The presence of npm 5 is one of the amazing features that differentiate this technology from the rest. As a network mobile app developer, you have the chance of using it without any hindrance as it is saved by the default now option. Another fact to address is that the package lock.json automatically gets developed if there is no npm-shrinkwrap.json. Also, when there is no internet connectivity, there is no need to retry network requests. One of the major changes is that npm will install the latest registry that you have chosen.
Better Implementation of the WHATWG URL
Node.js 8 offers implementation of the WHATWG URL. It is interesting to note that this feature was added in the Node.js version 7 on an experimental basis in the previous year. The biggest advantage is that it simply matches with the URL implementation as well as API, which is accessible in some popular web browsers. These browsers are Mozilla Firefox, Apple’s Safari and Google Chrome etc. Being network application developer, you can easily share the code across environments by using the URLs.
