JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic programming language that conforms to the ECMAScript specification. Originally developed by Netscape to add interactive elements to websites, JavaScript has become a core technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS, and is supported by all major browsers without the need for plugins. Node.js, a JavaScript runtime, allows for JavaScript to be used on the server-side, enabling the development of fast, scalable network applications. This versatility makes JavaScript unique in its ability to handle both client-side and server-side programming.

Benchmarks

This benchmark tests how fast a framework can perform concurrent HTTP requests, I/O operations, and JSON de/serialization.

MedianP99

Framework	Requests per second Indicates how many requests per second the framework can handle. (higher is better)	Latency Indicates how long it takes to process a request. (lower is better)	Stability Indicates how stable the framework is under load: median / P99 latency (higher is better)	Memory Indicates how much memory (RAM) the framework uses. (lower is better)
