Node.js v20.4.0 for Linux ARMv7l

Node.js, also known as Node, is an open-source and cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment. It allows JavaScript code to be run outside of web browsers. Node.js was founded by Ryan Dahl in 2009 with the aim of creating high-performance web servers and network applications. It is based on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and can run on various operating systems such as Windows, Linux, Unix, and macOS. One of the key features of Node.js is its event-driven and non-blocking I/O model, making it suitable for handling a large number of concurrent connections, which performs exceptionally well in building real-time applications such as online games, chat applications, and real-time communication services. Additionally, Node.js adopts a modular architecture and utilizes npm (Node package manager), allowing community members to share and reuse code, greatly promoting the development and expansion of the Node.js ecosystem. Node.js is not only used for server-side development but also for building toolchains, desktop applications, and IoT devices as technology evolves. With its capability to handle file systems, operate databases, and process network requests, developers can write full-stack applications in JavaScript, significantly improving development efficiency and convenience. In practice, many large enterprises and organizations have adopted Node.js as the development platform for their web applications, such as Netflix, PayPal, and Walmart. They leverage Node.js to enhance application performance, streamline development processes, and respond to market demands more quickly.
