1. "Node.js allows the creation of Web servers and networking tools using JavaScript and a collection of 'modules' that handle various core functionalities. Modules are provided for file system I/O, networking (DNS, HTTP, TCP, TLS/SSL, or UDP), binary data (buffers), cryptography functions, data streams, and other core functions." (Wikipedia: Node.js, 6.21.23 UTC 07:13)

 

2. "Node.js operates on a single-thread event loop, using non-blocking I/O calls, allowing it to support tens of thousands of concurrent connections without incurring the cost of thread context switching." (Wikipedia: Node.js, 6.21.23 UTC 07:13)

 

3. "Node.js uses libuv under the hood to handle asynchronous events. Libuv is an abstraction layer for network and files system functionality on both Windows and POSIX-based systems..." (Wikipedia: Node.js, 6.21.23 UTC 07:13)
