As wide as known, JavaScript is a client-side and server-side language. It’s well known for web pages developments. Since the very beginning, it has brought user interface interactivity, which was a major revolution in web 2 Development. Back then, the web was completely static and only based on simple CSS & HTML. In simple words, JS brought dynamism to the Web.

JS is the new batman, solves everyone’s problem!

JavaScript is a programming language that turns web pages into more dynamic and interactive ones. JavaScript helps us to add behavior of our website. It allows users to interact with the web page. For example, clicking on buttons, saving details, uploading content to the website. 

JS is a strong independent language! It does not need a compiler:

The magic word that explains this singularity is “interpreted”.  This means we do not have to compile the JavaScript source code before sending it to the browser, the interpreter does the work for us: takes the raw code and run it.

JS can be dedicated to write Server-side or Client-side code:

It became the ingredient that smoothens up any recipe. You might have asked yourself why JavaScript is everywhere, while it’s known as a client-side development language. The answer is simple: Node JS arrived and became an important tool dedicated to write both client-side and server-side code in JavaScript, without relying on external web servers.

JS has a wide variety of powerful frameworks and libraries:

A plus point to JS that we should surely mention is the variety of frameworks and libraries that allow developers to implement complex and advanced applications with less effort. As an example we can list React JS, Vue JS, Angular, Node.js, jQuery, Dojo as one of the top Frameworks and libraries in 2022.
