NodeJs vs PHP
- 2. Agenda ▶ We will compare both the technology in all possible ways & try to find out which one better than other.
- 4. Introduction
- 5. ▶ Node.js is an open source server framework. ▶ It is based on Google’s V8 JavaScript engine. ▶ Programs in node.js are written in JavaScript but not the same JavaScript we use in browser. There is no DOM implementation in Node.js ▶ In ‘Node.js’, ‘.js’ doesn’t mean that it was completely written in JavaScript. It is 40% JS and 60% C++. ▶ The potential to write isomorphic code (same code is run in browser & server). ▶ Best for real-time application. Overview
- 6. Non-blocking I/O ▶ Work on a single thread using non-blocking I/O calls. ▶ Supports tens of thousands concurrent connections. ▶ Optimized for scalability in web applications with many I/O operations. ▶ This makes Node.js apps extremely fast and efficient. ▶ Natively PHP don’t support this feature.
- 7. Event Loop ▶ Single threaded ▶ Supports concurrency via event and callbacks ▶ EventEmitter class is used to bind events and listeners.
- 8. Traditional server side programming languages like PHP, Java, Python etc. creates thread for each request. NodeJS handles event-based callback on single thread. Node are free from deadlock.
- 9. Environments ▶ Both php & node can be install in all OS. ▶ PHP need more resources than node. You need to install more extensions & modules of php to setup in your server. ▶ In the other hand node.js has very few dependency as compared to php to deploy in server.
- 10. Performance ▶ The performance of node.js is generally better than PHP due to several advantage ▶ Fewer dependency ▶ Smaller & faster interpreter ▶ Applications are permanently on ▶ An event-driven, non-blocking I/O
- 11. And the Winner is …..
- 13. Why…?
- 14. PHP codes are very easy to implement & easy to learn as compared to node.js
- 15. World's most popular CMS & MVC are made with PHP.
- 18. Best for small, medium & large web based projects.
- 19. Efficient for CPU-intensive work & best for shared hosting.
- 21. Event-driven non-blocking I/O with PHP:-
- 26. ▶ When it comes to performance & scalability Node Js is absolute winner. ▶ It is best for large web application development when you have sufficient time for development. ▶ But when it comes to high speed development you can take advantages of CMS like Drupal, wordpress & magento. In this case there is no comparison with php. ▶ PHP has a large community support no matter what problem you have there's always a solution. My advice: Pick a application which matches your requirement without influenced by the trend.
