Javascript is a scripting language that is used to create interactive content on the web. Nodejs, on the other hand, is a server-side JavaScript runtime environment that has been designed to build scalable and fast web applications.

Javascript Vs Nodejs:

  • Javascript is an interpreted programming language, whereas Nodejs is a compiled programming language. This means that Javascript needs to be translated into machine code before it can be executed, whereas Nodejs does not need any translation since it already has machine code.
  • The syntax for Javascript and Nodejs are different as well.
  • Javascript was developed with the intention of being used for interactive content whereas Nodejs was developed with intention of being used for server-side applications.
