Node.js is an open-sourcecross-platform JavaScript run-time environment for executing JavaScript code server-side.

Hi,

If I test the Native api for Node.js from the documentation, I noticed (if I'm correct) all methods and calls are synchronous. By default due to the nature of Node.js, there is only one thread of execution and normally all JavaScript methods and all calls should be asynchronous and use either a callback function (the "old way") or promises or the async/await contruct to return their result, e.g.:

  • myFunction(params, callbackFunction(response))
  • myFunction(params).
