Node.js
Software that lets developers use JavaScript to build programs that run outside a web browser
What's it for?
Lets teams use the same programming language for browser-based and behind-the-scenes software.
For example…
A developer uses Node.js to build the part of an online shop that receives new orders from the website and processes them behind the scenes
A command-line tool written in JavaScript runs through Node.js rather than inside a web browser.
