This article explores the concept of native modules in JavaScript, highlighting their differences from JavaScript modules, their performance benefits, and real-world applications. Native modules are extensions for Node.js that allow the execution of lower-level code written in languages like C++ or Rust. They offer performance benefits, access to low-level APIs, and are useful in applications such as data science, machine learning, video and audio processing, and gaming backends.
