Working with Stream in the JavaScript language for node.js

node.js is the runtime environment that enabled JavaScript developers everywhere to build front-to-back web applications with a single programming language. It triggered a renaissance for the language and boosted it to become the most popular language in use today.

Node. is built on the same V8 engine that’s included in Google’s Chrome browser. It is architected around an event loop and emphasises asynchronous, non-blocking I/O. Most importantly, it is well suited to building scalable applications such as social networks and dynamic applications with rich social features.

To accelerate development on the node.js runtime, several popular web frameworks and libraries have emerged. With a strong package manager, npm, in place early on in the life of Node, the developer community has tended toward smaller, focussed libraries rather than all-in-one frameworks. As a result it’s far more common to integrate multiple single-purpose libraries when building with Node.

That said there are also popular frameworks like Express.js, Hapi, Koa and Sails.js. Restify.JS is also a popular choice for Web APIs and web applications that make use of a decoupled SPA frontend such as Angular.JS or React.JS.
