Why Node.js and Express.js?
Hello everyone! Today, I want to share some insights on building RESTful APIs using Node.js and Express.js. Throughout my 4+ years of development experience, these tools have been essential in creating efficient and scalable backend services.Why Node.js and Express.js?1. Simplicity and Speed: Node.js allows for non-blocking, event-driven I/O operations, which makes it lightweight and efficient. Express.js, a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework, provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.2. Scalability: Node.js excels at handling concurrent connections with high throughput, making it suitable for building scalable network applications. Express.js simplifies the process of writing server-side logic with its intuitive middleware system.3. Rich Ecosystem: The npm (Node Package Manager) ecosystem offers thousands of libraries and modules that can be easily integrated into your project, reducing development time and effort.
