What motivated you to choose Node.js for development?

Node.js attracts developers with its asynchronous, event-driven model, which allows efficient handling of a large number of concurrent connections with minimal latency.

Main reasons to choose Node.js:

• Using JavaScript on both the client and server sides, simplifying development.
• A large ecosystem of packages via npm.
• High performance in input/output tasks.
• Support for microservices architecture and real-time applications.

Example of a simple HTTP server in Node.js:

const http = require('http');

const server = http.createServer((req, res) => {
  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
  res.end('Hello, Node.js!');
});

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.log('Server running at http://localhost:3000/');
});
