Node.js_Vs_Typescript

# Node.js Vs Typescript

For years Javascript has been the go-to development language of choice for client-side developers by
providing the power and flexibility to build web-based applications. Today, the use of Javascript is 
migrating towards server-side applications. As web applications became more extensive and complex, 
developers use Typescript to expand Javascript capabilities.

Typescript and Node.js are two tools every developer needs in their toolbox.
Typescript is a Javascript superset tool developed by Microsoft to expand the capabilities of Javascript.
Typescript creates static types allowing developers to identify issues in code before being in a runtime environment.
It is strictly a development language and must be transpiled into Javascript before being used in production.

Node.js is a runtime development framework used to execute Javascript on the server-side. It allows developers to 
use Javascript for server-side applications simplifying the development process and reducing costs.

Node.js provides a way for front-end Javascript developers to become full-stack developers without learning a different 
programming language or development framework.

# What is Typescript?

Typescript is an open-source language introduced in 2012 by Microsoft to expand the capabilities of Javascript. In 2019, 
developers on StackOverflow voted Typescript as one of the most loved languages, and it is considered an excellent tool for larger, 
more complex coding applications. For instance, it creates a more structured code by providing optional static typing. This feature 
is beneficial for larger applications written by remote teams of developers since it makes it easier to spot bugs earlier in the 
development process. It is also popular because Javascript developers have a shorter learning curve to develop server-side applications.

# What is Node.js?

Node.js is an unopinionated low-level platform and Javascript runtime environment for server-side programming applications. 
It uses V8 Javascript, the core of Google Chrome, outside of the browser. Because it is an open-source platform, Node.js is supported by
an extensive code library that is growing daily. The developer community is very active and provides numerous query builders, 
object-relational models (ORMs), and database toolkits. Learn more about Node.js.
