Somone is proposing Node.js for a project and I was wondering if the advantages/disadvantages in this article are still current. This is for a web application with lots of CRUD, but will also require a custom JSON API.
- jerf 15y agoThere are tons of existing fast, mature existing options that do great CRUD, JSON APIs (they might call it "REST"), and even have some integration between the two. There's no compelling reason to go with something like Node if that's your use case. That's not so much because Node is intrinsically bad at such things as that the things that it was relatively good at were not that, so the focus hasn't been on that use case. Displacing the existing incumbents in that space would be an incredibly tall order.
