"Best and easy server environment to develop the REST Api"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node.js is a cross-platform server environment, which allows us to build a REST API application within a few mins using the Express.io library, The best thing is that one can write applications in JavaScript. Another thing is its open source so anybody can use it without any payment. I use it on a daily basis to build web services for mobile applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

I don't like the callback behavior or nested callbacks, In case we need to run the program functions one by one then we need to use async-await for all the promise handling. Another thing is that it takes a lot of time to do large computations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Node JS Review"
What do you like best about Node.js?

It's opensources and it's one of the best backend development built upon chrome V8 Engine and you can build you both front end and backend applications.

The coolest feature about Node js is it's scalability, asynchronous and non -blocking IO model along with it using cluster module you can run your applications efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best backend tool in the market by a mile."
What do you like best about Node.js?

Node JS is one of the lightest and fastest backend tech-stack in the market. The npm package manager makes it even better and easier to work with NodeJS as most of the packages are available with npm which may come in handy during the development process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

NodeJS may not be the best tool when it comes to CPU-intensive tasks due to its single-threaded nature. Also, the learning curve is quite steep for someone who is new to web development and backend technologies. It took me quite a lot of time to get familiar with Node.

"node.js one of the simplest and best language to build server side applications"
What do you like best about Node.js?

Anyone who is familier with javascript concepts they easily create server-side applications using node.js; it supports asynchronous and non-blocking I/O model so that it can handle multiple requests concurrently without getting blocked Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

I think the node.js upcoming update should come with multi-threaded event loops, which will make it faster and more efficient; for now, it only supports single threaded which can only utilise a single CPU core at a time; also, error handling in node.js is a little complex Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Awesome development/runtime environment"
What do you like best about Node.js?

I like that using a single programming language, both frontend and backend logic can be implemented, which makes this environment much easier to scale within our engineering organization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Node.js?

There are many 3rd party framework options (this is definitely a positive too), so it can become intimidating for some to understand where to start. But you quickly find what works for your team, so it's an issue that's easy to overcome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
