The goal of this documentation is to explain the Node.js
API, both from a reference as well as a conceptual point of view. Each
section describes a built-in module or high-level concept.
Welcome to the official API reference documentation for Node.js!
Where appropriate, property types, method arguments, and the arguments
provided to event handlers are detailed in a list underneath the topic
heading.
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on the [V8 JavaScript engine][].
