I try to understand the architecture nodejs, when using it as a server trough framework such as express. I know all these concepts of web server, application server, and a web container but I don't think that I fully grasped where does nodejs as a server it's to all of this.

    Node.js is the runtime, like the JVM in Java or the interpreter in Python. It's what implements the JavaScript language, namely what executes the code. – root May 24 '20 at 08:54

    Does this answer your question? [Can we say node.js is a web server?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9462356/can-we-say-node-js-is-a-web-server) – rb612 May 24 '20 at 08:57
  • no, sorry:) because I know that node.js is a runtime that also has an HTTP module that express is using in order to generate a server- and that's my question - this 'server' that is running on node- in the context of what is running? is it an application server? webserver? none of it? – Daniel Shelly May 24 '20 at 10:41
