Sails.js

<h2 id="features">Features</h2>
<p>Sails.js is built on Node.js and <a href="/facts/Express.js/EJKbXAL4">Express.js</a>, enabling applications to be written in JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database). Similar to Ruby on Rails,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> Sails.js provides an <a href="/facts/Object-relational_mapping/sjIPEIfq">object-relational mapping</a> interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction layer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a>
</p><p>A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generated <a href="/facts/REST_API/Q58zfr5h">REST APIs</a>, <a href="/facts/WebSocket/NcQrqpnv">WebSockets</a> by default using <a href="/facts/Socket.io/WFzbpcKs">Socket.io</a>;<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic (<a href="/facts/AngularJS/vwI5s4aJ">AngularJS</a>, <a href="/facts/React.js/wEllNzoY">React.js</a>, <a href="/facts/Android_(operating_system)/nNyHb0xz">Android</a>, <a href="/facts/IOS/mK5cggH5">iOS</a>, etc.).
