Developing Node.js applications
Node.js applications are written using JavaScript and involve asynchronous programming concepts that could be unfamiliar to COBOL and Java programmers. Experienced Node.js developers find that developing applications for CICS is a similar process to developing Node.js applications for other platforms. Development and debugging skills are shared, and the Node Package Manager (NPM) is used in the same way.
CICS provides an API to invoke CICS programs from your Node.js applications. The API offers a locally optimized way to interact with existing CICS assets, rather than invoking them as services over the network.
The topic Best practice for developing Node.js applications covers aspects of application programming that you need to be aware of when you are developing Node.js applications.
