Node
Server-side JavaScript platform
A node is a point of connection or intersection in a network or system.
In computing, nodes are devices connected to a network—computers, servers, routers.
In anatomy, lymph nodes are small masses of tissue along lymphatic vessels.
In botany, a node is where leaves attach to a stem.
The word suggests a discrete point within a larger connected structure: Each node in the network handles its own traffic.
In graphs and data structures, nodes are the fundamental units connected by edges or links.
