Overview:
IBM® Open Enterprise SDK for Node.js is a no-charge SDK to connect Node.js applications to z/OS® resources. It provides a stand-alone JavaScript® runtime and server-side JavaScript solution for building Node.js native and JavaScript modules for the IBM Z® platform.
With IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Node.js, clients can modernize their applications to extend the value of their existing applications. Node.js allows enterprise clients to tap into a massive JavaScript developer talent pool and resources by enabling coding in the popular JavaScript language.
Features:
Code that uses the popular Node.js framework
Use the JavaScript runtime, server-side APIs and libraries to efficiently build high-performance, highly scalable network applications.
Coding made easy with npm
Accelerate application delivery with npm, the world's largest software registry, which provides developers access to share and re-use over 2 million community Node.js modules, such as Express and Loopback.
CICS® support
Host IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Node.js and manage it with IBM CICS® Transaction Server as part of a CICS bundle. You can use the locally optimized transport for calling CICS services.
Access your z/OS data
Use Node.js to connect all critical assets, including VSAM, Db2®, RACF/SAF and IMS® through z/OS Connect Enterprise Edition.
zEnterprise Data Compression Support
IBM Open Enterprise SDK for Node.js uses zEDC hardware accelerator for zlib-based compression and decompression, which provides significant performance benefits over previous software implementations.
V8 JavaScript engine
Use a powerful open source JavaScript engine that compiles JavaScript source to the latest z/Architecture® instructions for optimal performance.
Benefits:
Modernize applications

Save development effort
Use Node.js in both the front and backend of applications to leverage the same technology and skills to build end-to-end applications.
Accelerate delivery of applications
Take advantage of over 2 million community-provided modules to help accelerate your application development.
Improve performance
Colocate Node.js applications and data to increase throughput and reduce response time by using the event-driven, efficient I/O model.
Specifications:
