<\/span><\/h2>\nDevelopers benefit from existing knowledge of JavaScript. Node is easily extensible<\/strong>and integration is directly supported by package managers such as NPM<\/strong> and YARN<\/strong>. Front-end developers can use their JavaScript knowledge to create server-side code quickly and easily with Node.js. Node remains a lightweight application that responds quickly and with which you can implement a good API solution very quickly. Node’s error management is easy to understand and allows errors to be rectified quickly. The basic Javascript language allows you to declare free variables<\/a>. This Node feature then facilitates the exchange with all Javascript frameworks and JS libraries in the backend and frontend. In just a few lines of code, you can build a backend application that provides data for a frontend. This is very easy to do using the Fetch API. Axios, for example, is an alternative to node to make data fetching, i.e. the integration of data from any data source, easier. However, Node is a real improvement on previous technologies such as PHP for implementing modern backends and APIs. It is easier and faster to implement and uses the same language as the web frontends. Node has a very active and broad community, is very flexible and can be used for different use cases. Above all, it is open source. Compared to compiled backend languages, node is relatively slow. For large applications, many projects therefore prefer alternatives such as Kotlin or Ruby.<\/p>\n<\/div>
