Node.js is practically an evented I/O library for Google's V8 JavaScript engine.

Experts recommend it for creating and deploying for traffic and data intensive real-time apps that need to run the same across various platforms and devices.

Node.js is currently considered the top platform for running server-side JavaScript code, being used in production in big companies like Google, eBay, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Cloud9 and many more.

The platform is very well documented and benefits from a very large module repository, managed through the npm (Node.js Package Manager) utility.
