Is Node.js better than PHP?

The question is about Node.js

Answer:

Choosing between Node.js and PHP would entirely depend on the requirements of the project. Node.js is excellent for real-time applications; it has a nonblocking and event-driven architecture well suited for huge numbers of concurrent connections. It also uses JavaScript right through the stack, which makes development easy.

 

PHP is mature and excellent at traditional web development and considerably easier to deploy in shared hosting environments compared to content management systems like WordPress. Such architecture-level decisions should be based on application type, scalability, and the expertise of the team.
