Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. Node.js' package ecosystem, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world. #### Let's break it down. -- Javascript runtime built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. -Every browser has a JavaSript engine built in it to process JavaScript files contained in websites. Google Chrome uses V8 engine which is built using C++. Node.js also uses this super-fast engine to interpret JavaScript files. +- Javascript runtime built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine. +Every browser has a JavaSript engine built in it to process JavaScript files contained in websites.

This means that Node.js waits for certain events to take place. It then acts on those events. Events can be anything from a click to a HTTP request. We can also declare our own custom events and make node.js listen for those events. - Node.js uses a non-blocking I/O model.
