NodeJS provides inbuilt library crypto to encrypt and decrypt data in NodeJS. We can use this library to encrypt data of any type. You can do the cryptographic operations on a string, buffer, and even a stream of data. The crypto also holds multiple crypto algorithms for encryption. Please check the official resources for the same. In this article, we will use the most popular AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption.Configuring 'crypto' dependencyIn your project, check if NodeJS is initialized or not. If not, use the following command to initialize NodeJS.>> npm init -yThe 'crypto' library is automatically added while ... Read More

Both the methods – console.log and process.stdout.write have a basic definition to write or print the statements on the console. But, there is a slight difference in the way they execute these tasks. Internally, console.log implements process.stdout.write which itself is a buffer stream that will be used to directly print statements on your console.process.stdout.writeconsole.logIt continuously prints information as retrieved from the stream without adding any new line.It first prints the information being retrieved and then adds a new line. Then it will go to retrieve the second set of statements to print.The process.stdout.write method takes only string as paramter. Other ... Read More
