Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a comparative study of Core and Node.js for the development of Representational state transfer (RESTful) Application Programming Interface (API) using MongoDB non-relational database. The study includes Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) functionality, authentication and authorization using the JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Web Token token as well as the easiness and development time of the two competing technologies. Tests show that in general the performance between the two technologies does not differ much. Different tests indicate that the performance of one technology is better than the other and vice versa. However, Core outperforms Node.js in a test case with large loads.
