nodejs/node

Features

• Event Emitters - Facilitates decoupled communication by allowing objects to trigger named events and execute associated listener functions.
• Cryptographic Operations - Enables robust data security through built-in modules for hashing, encryption, decryption, and digital signatures.
• Debugging Tools - Exposes diagnostic interfaces for inspecting runtime state, monitoring execution, and logging formatted output to various destinations.
• Performance Measurement - Captures high-resolution timing data and resource usage metrics to assist in profiling application performance.
• Internationalization Utilities - Handles locale-sensitive string operations and Unicode-aware character processing to support globalized software applications.
• Node.js Ecosystem - Official Node.js runtime repository.
• Programming Languages - JavaScript runtime built on Chrome's V8 engine.
• Asynchronous Streams - Powers efficient data flow through asynchronous iterables, enabling batch processing without complex boilerplate.
• Foreign Function Interfaces - Integrates native shared objects directly into the runtime to enable high-performance extensions and cross-language communication.
• Timer Schedulers - Schedules asynchronous tasks for future execution using standard timeout and interval mechanisms.
• Diagnostic Reports - Generates structured process summaries, including stack traces and heap statistics, to simplify system diagnostics.
• Query String Parsers - Converts URL query strings into structured objects and serializes data for web request parameters.
