Its event-driven architecture and non-blocking I/O model make it ideal for building real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Node.js is an open-source, runtime environment for developing server-side and network applications in JavaScript. These days, Node.js application development is gaining momentum and it is used by a vast community of developers, technology enthusiasts, and programmers. We are aware that Node.js has successfully captured the mainstream technology market with large-scale companies like IBM, Yahoo!, Walmart, SAP, and others using it. Here, we are focusing only on IDEs for Node.js applications. Eclipse, NetBeans, CodeEnvy, Xojo, and Xcode are some examples of modern IDEs. Some IDEs are dedicated to a specific, single programming language while there are a few more that support multiple languages. Modern IDEs have a graphical user interface with a single program that offers several features, such as authoring, compiling, deploying and debugging software code. An IDE has a source code editor, a code debugger, code completion feature, build automation tool, compiler and more all in one single software application. This may be the reason as to why an IDE (Integrated development environment) was conceptualized.

A lot of programmers need efficient code editing and debugging tools to work with accuracy and speed. Having control over code is an important part of a software application development process.
