The primary reason behind Node.js becoming popular these days is because of the feasibility it offers to front end developers to write server side code. IT companies can avail the opportunity to be benefited with reducing the costs as there is no need for both back end and front end developers to develop a web application. Now, Node.js widely recognized as an application development ecosystem with increasing free modules in its npm repository – says Sudhakar Goverdhanam.

The primary reason behind Node.js becoming popular these days is because of the feasibility it offers to
front end developers to write server side code. IT companies can avail the opportunity to be benefited
with reducing the costs as there is no need for both back end and front end developers to develop a
web application. Now, Node.js widely recognized as an application development ecosystem with
increasing free modules in its npm repository – says Sudhakar Goverdhanam.
If a developer wants to develop a mobile version of a web application, then Node.js ecosystem works
finely for the requirement. A developer can do that by maintaining the web application that is already
built on the server and providing a mobile interface which gets data from API to perform business logic.
For the mobile interface, developers have to write portions of business logic in objective c for IOS and
Java for Android.
With Just-in-Time compelling, Node.js can run on Android and it cannot be run on IOS as IOS cannot
support JIT. There is one exception; if it is a jailbroken IOS, then Node.js can be run. Node.js gives a few
reasons for a developer to use it than others. The first is - it is faster to develop a mobile app with
Node.js as it provides 110, 000 free JavaScript modules. The second is - the Node.js allows a developer
to maintain same codebase and platform for both desktop and mobile versions of a web application.
