This repo cointains the "Blog Corner" web application implemented with:
- NodeJS
- Express
- EJS
- Morgan
- MongoDB
- Mongoose
- etc
Node.js is a tool written in C++, which basically wraps the V8 engine, just like web browsers, and lets us write code in JavaScript and share it between the front end and back end of our projects.
Express is a lightweight and flexible web application framework in JavaScript that simplifies building server-side applications and APIs with Node.js, handling routing and HTTP requests.
MongoDB is a super flexible NoSQL database that is a great fit for certain types of applications where a traditional, structured database might not be the best choice.
Mongoose is an ODM library - Object Document Mapping library.
