title: What is the difference between jQuery and Node.js?
body: <p>I have tried a few examples with Node.js, but still I have a confusion between jQuery and Node.js.</p>
  
  <p>All I know at this point in time is that Node.js and jQuery perform two different roles. One facilitates server-side JavaScript, and the other provides an abstraction library for client-side JavaScript.</p>
  
  <p>I have seen some other links also on Stack&nbsp;Overflow related to Node.js and jQuery but I didn't get what I wanted.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p><em><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8876168/node-js-client-side-templating-v-s-server-side-templating">Node.js: Client-Side Templating v/s Server-Side Templating</a></em></p></li>
  <li><p><em><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7863571/can-i-start-with-jquery-or-node-js-with-nil-knowledge-of-javascript">Can I start with jQuery (or Node.js) with &quot;NIL&quot; knowledge of JavaScript?</a></em></p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>What is the feature difference or what is it special that Node.js does which will make me think to go with it? What benefits will I get if I choose to go with Node.js? I know Node.js works on event-driven programming, not an object-oriented programming language, but what else are the other things I can do with Node.js which I can not do with jQuery or other frameworks?</p>
  
  <p>I have a few question like:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>What can be done by Node.js which can not be done by jQuery?</p></li>
  <li><p>Is Node.js capable of consuming web services? If yes, then is it possible to do the same with jQuery? If not, then what is the reason for it?</p></li>
  <li><p>What are the features of Node.js? How it is different from jQuery?</p></li>
  <li><p>In which situation should I go with Node.js or jQuery?</p></li>
  <li><p>What are some special features of Node.js and jQuery? Benefits of using both?</p></li>
  </ol>
