README

Node.js

Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform, JavaScript runtime environment. It executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. For more information on using Node.js, see the Node.js Website.

This is the official V8 fork of Node.js.

Quick start

If you need to run Node.js with V8 ToT, you can build Node with GN.
See what to do if your CL broke the Node.js integration build.
