Features of Node.js



Following are some of the important features that make Node.js the first choice of software architects.
  • Asynchronous and Event Driven − All APIs of Node.js library are asynchronous, that is, non-blocking. It essentially means a Node.js based server never waits for an API to return data. The server moves to the next API after calling it and a notification mechanism of Events of Node.js helps the server to get a response from the previous API call.
  • Very Fast − Being built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript Engine, Node.js library is very fast in code execution.
  • Single Threaded but Highly Scalable − Node.js uses a single threaded model with event looping. Event mechanism helps the server to respond in a non-blocking way and makes the server highly scalable as opposed to traditional servers which create limited threads to handle requests. Node.js uses a single threaded program and the same program can provide service to a much larger number of requests than traditional servers like Apache HTTP Server.
  • No Buffering − Node.js applications never buffer any data. These applications simply output the data in chunks.
  • License − Node.js is released under the MIT license.

.NET Core 2.0 Changes – 4 Key Things to Know

1. .NET Standard 2.0 Expanded APIs & the Ability to Reference Full Framework Libraries .NET Standard broadens the set of APIs available to include a lot of the missing features. It now supports 32,000+ APIs. It is now much easier to port your code to a .NET Standard library without major code changes. One of the biggest problems with .NET Core was the lack of third-party libraries. For example, when 1.0 came out, popular logging libraries like log4net were not even available (it is now). However, this was really only a problem if you wanted to deploy your app on Mac or Linux. You could have used .NET Core and targeted full .NET framework and not had these issues. .NET Standard 2.0 has added a  new compatibility shim  that will enable any .NET Core app to reference any full framework library. 2. Expanded OS Support One of the big goals with .NET Core is portability across multiple operating systems. Including desktops, servers, and even mobile. Microsoft ...
