# Why nodejs # Why Node.js
* Node.js is OpenSource
* Guarantees ease of scaling applications vertically by adding new resources to the existing node and horizontally with the addition of new nodes
* It facilitates building separate components that easily complement larger applications, which means saving money at the initial development stages and potentially shortening time-to-market, reusable code (some of the code can be used both on the front and backend)
* Tested on production (a lot of [companies use it](https://selleo.com/blog/10-successful-companies-using-nodejs) from the very beginning in 2009)
* offers improved performance thanks to Chrome’s V8 engine
* using JavaScript on both backend and frontend makes Node a great choice to improve speed and simplicity of implementation

# Commonjs vs esm # CommonJS vs ESM
The CommonJS module system, on the other hand, is built into Node.js. Before the introduction of the ES module in Node.js, CommonJS was the standard for Node.js modules. As a result, many Node.js libraries and modules are written with CommonJS.
The ES module format was created to standardize the JavaScript module system. It has become the standard format for encapsulating JavaScript code for reuse.

# Global keyword # global Keyword
In browsers, the top-level scope is the global scope. This means that within the browser var something will define a new global variable. In Node.js this is different. The top-level scope is not the global scope; `var something` inside a Node.js module will be local to that module.
