The document discusses why Node.js is well-suited for Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Node.js can handle a large volume of data and requests from IoT devices like sensors through its streaming capabilities. It is also suitable for key IoT features like collecting, communicating, and analyzing data in real-time. Protocols like sockets and MQTT that are commonly used for continuous data transmission in IoT work well with Node.js. Additionally, Node.js is fast, scalable, and efficient, making it well-suited for data-intensive real-time applications like IoT.
