"Node.js: The Ultimate Multi-Use Tool for Developers"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node.js allows for multi-stack development, enabling the creation of both frontend and backend applications. Setting up Node.js is straightforward, and in my years of experience, I have used it for building both frontend web apps and backend servers. It allows developers to use JavaScript for both client-side and server-side scripting.

With its event-driven architecture and non-blocking I/O operations, Node.js is ideal for applications like chat apps, gaming servers, and collaborative tools that require constant updates.

Node.js is well-suited for building RESTful APIs and microservices. Its lightweight and fast nature, combined with the extensive ecosystem of NPM (Node Package Manager), makes it easy to develop and maintain scalable and performant APIs.

Node.js can be easily integrated into web apps, servers, and lambda functions. Many frameworks are built upon Node.js, enhancing its versatility.

In my experience, I have completed numerous projects using Node.js. Its asynchronous nature allows it to handle a large number of concurrent connections with minimal resource consumption.

The Node.js community is continually growing. With lot of open-source projects, tutorials, and resources available, developers can quickly find support and solutions to common problems. This active community also contributes to the rapid evolution and improvement of Node.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

With Node js growing continuosly, there's nothing which I don't like about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Making Server Side applications and APIs"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node.js is an excellent runtime environment for JavaScript, ideal for developing server-side applications. It empowers developers to execute server-side functions seamlessly, including performing CRUD operations on databases, handling data, and ensuring data security through authentication. Node.js offers built-in libraries like JWT for authentication, simplifying the process of securing data. I mostly use NodeJs everyday as my primary server side framework.

Creating servers and APIs for web applications is remarkably straightforward with Node.js. Its ease of implement and integration capabilities make it a popular choice for developing safe, secure, and efficient server-side applications. As a result, a significant number of web applications are built on Node.js, leveraging its robust features for enhanced functionality and reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

Something I dont like about NodeJs is that it is only supported single threaded operations and doesn't have high computational power so sometimes we have to take use of python or django for creaing such applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Loves Node.js"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Nodejs has become a go-to-tool for server side development.

Nodejs is lightning fast - thanks to its event driven and non-IO blocking model.

This feature boosts the performance of application and makes it more scalable.

As its javascript framework it makes it easy for implementation.

The vast NPM is like gem.

It has extensive collection of packages and modules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

The callback hell, though metigated with the introduction of promises, async/await can still be headache in complex applications.

Asynchronous functions makes it little difficult to debug code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?
