JavaScript是世界上最流行的编程语言之一。事实上，在设计网站或为基于 Web 的程序开发应用程序时，Java Script是大多数开发人员和编码人员的首选。由于Native Script等技术和渐进式 Web 应用程序的存在，JavaScript是一种具有成本效益的前端开发工具。
然而，今天我们的主要关注点将是Node.js，一个强大的JavaScript运行时。这篇文章将解释为什么它在主流市场中变得越来越流行，并吸引了IBM、雅虎(Yahoo)、沃尔玛(Walmart)、SAP等。我们还将讨论对IDE(IDEs)的需求并列出Node.js的前 11 个IDE(IDEs)。现在，事不宜迟，让我们从顶部开始。
什么是 Node.js？(What is Node.js?)
Node.js基本上是一个适用于(Node.js)JavaScript的开源运行时环境。它主要用于开发网络和服务器端应用程序。Node.js最好的地方在于它能够轻松处理异步和并发连接。它是事件驱动的，并且有一个非常有用的非阻塞 I/O 模型。这些特性使其成为开发快速和高性能实时应用程序的理想选择。结果，它受到了IBM(IBM)、SAP、雅虎(Yahoo)和沃尔玛(Walmart)等技术市场的知名人士的欢迎. 它的诸多优点使其成为绝对粉丝的最爱，并得到了开发人员、编码人员、程序员和精通技术的人的积极响应。
但是，为了开发任何程序或构建应用程序，不断审查、测试和编辑代码非常重要。使用Node.js开发的任何基于 Web 的应用程序也是如此。您需要拥有良好的调试和编辑工具，以确保您的程序完美运行。这就是IDE（集成开发环境(Integrated Development Environment)）发挥作用的地方。
什么是 IDE？(What is an IDE?)
IDE代表集成开发环境(Integrated Development Environment)。它融合了各种综合工具和设施，使开发人员能够成功地创建他们的应用程序或网站。IDE基本上是代码编辑器、调试器、编译器、代码完成功能、构建动画工具等的组合，打包到单个多功能软件应用程序中。现代 IDE(Modern IDEs)具有图形用户界面，使其更易于工作，并且具有吸引人的美感（在处理数千行代码时非常有用）。除此之外，它们甚至可以满足您的高级编码需求，例如创作、编译、部署和调试软件代码。
市场上有数以千计的IDE(IDEs)。虽然其中一些价格昂贵并且具有非常吸引人的功能，但其他一些是免费的。然后是专门为单一编程语言构建的IDE(IDEs)，而另一些则支持多种语言（例如Eclipse、CodeEnvy、Xojo等）。在本文中，我们将列出可用于Node.js 应用程序开发的 11 个(Node.js Application Development)IDE(IDEs)。
要使用Node.js(Node.js)制作这样的实时应用程序，您显然需要一个IDE。市场上有许多可用的IDE(IDEs)，其中前 10 名如下所示。

11 Best IDEs For Node.js Developers
JavaScript is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. In fact, when it comes to deѕigning a website or deνeloping an app for a web-based program, Java Script is the first choice for mоst of the developers and coders. Owing to technologies like Native Script and the presence of progressive web aрplications, JaνaScriрt is a cоst-effective front-end development tool.
However, today our main focus is going to be Node.js, a powerful JavaScript runtime. This post will explain why it is becoming increasingly popular in the mainstream market and turning heads at IBM, Yahoo, Walmart, SAP, etc. We are also going to discuss the need for IDEs and list down the top 11 IDEs for Node.js. Now, without further ado, let’s start from the top.
What is Node.js?
Node.js is basically an open-source runtime environment that works on JavaScript. It is mainly used for developing network and server-side applications. The best thing about Node.js is that it is capable of handling asynchronous and concurrent connections with ease. It is event-driven and has a very useful non-blocking I/O model. These features make it ideal for developing fast and high-performing real-time applications. As a result, it became popular with big names in the technology market like IBM, SAP, Yahoo, and Walmart. Its many benefits make it an absolute fan-favourite and have received a positive response from developers, coders, programmers, and tech-savvy people.
However, in order to develop any program or build an application, it is very important to constantly review, test, and edit your code. The same goes for any web-based application developed using Node.js. You need to have good debugging and editing tools to ensure that your program works perfectly. This is where an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) comes into play.
What is an IDE?
IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment. It is an amalgamation of various comprehensive tools and facilities that make it possible for developers to successfully create their applications or website. An IDE is basically a combination of code editor, debugger, compiler, code completion feature, build animation tool, and more packed into a single multi-purpose software application. Modern IDEs have a graphical user interface which makes it easier to work and also has an appealing aesthetic (very helpful when dealing with thousands of lines of code). Apart from that, they even cater to your advanced coding needs like authoring, compiling, deploying, and debugging software code.
There are thousands of IDEs available in the market. While some of them are expensive and have really attractive features, others are free. Then there are IDEs built specifically for a single programming language while others support multiple languages (for e.g. Eclipse, CodeEnvy, Xojo, etc.). In this article, we are going to list down the top 11 IDEs that you can use for Node.js Application Development.
To make such real-time applications using Node.js, you will obviously require an IDE. There are many IDEs available in the market out of which the top 10 are given below.
