Modern Full-Stack Development

UDP/Datagram – The dgram module provides an implementation of 
UDP/Datagram sockets.
• 
V8 – The v8 module exposes APIs that are specific to the version of V8 
built into the Node binary.
• 
VM – The vm module provides APIs for compiling and running code 
within V8 virtual machine contexts.
• 
Worker Threads – The worker module provides a way to create 
multiple environments running on independent threads and to 
create message channels between them.
• 
Zlib – The zlib module provides compression functionality 
implemented using Gzip and Deflate/Inflate, as well as Broutil.
Note  there are a few modules listed in the node documentation, but I did not 
include any here that were marked for deprecation.
 Summary
In this chapter, we delved into just a little more detail on Node and NPM, talking about 
package.json in more detail, some other NPM commands you might need, and we took 
a look at the standard libraries that ship with Node, at least those that I believe most 
developers would find of most significant interest.
In the next chapter, we’ll look at the next technology we’ll need to build the two 
coming apps: React.
Chapter 2   a Few More words: advanCed node and npM
