Top 11 Nodejs Web Development Frameworks Trends

1. Node.js is Productive:

There were times when developers had to write two different languages for client-side and server-side implementations. Now it has reduced to half as developers have to write single code for both ends. The Node.js has created a bridge between front-end and library.

2. Node.js is Fast:

Being a single-threaded and asynchronous, Node.js offers non-blocking I/O model. That means it drives multitasking operation simultaneously unlike its previous blocking model that carried out one task at a time. Here you can read files, send emails, query the database etc concurrently.

3. Node.js is Scalable:

It is lightweight and straightforward and able to produce a range of capabilities. You can make the app fully functional and adaptive according to the business needs. Developers get the freedom to explore as many possibilities as required for business needs.

1. AdonisJs
