Introduction to Node.js
        
            Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that allows developers to run JavaScript outside the browser. It is widely used for building scalable and high-performance web applications.
        

        Why Use Node.js?
        
            Non-blocking, event-driven architecture
            Highly scalable for real-time applications
            Uses JavaScript for both frontend and backend
            Huge ecosystem with npm (Node Package Manager)
        

        Installing Node.js
        Download and install Node.js from the official website:
        https://nodejs.org/

        Basic Node.js Example
        Create a simple web server using 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://127.0.0.1:3000/');
});
        
        
        Run the script and visit http://127.0.0.1:3000/ in your browser.
