I need to make requests to an api via soap but this api can be very slow. (Sometimes 30 seconds for a response). I basically would like to make the request and then get a response, some time later, without blocking. I would then cache this result.
I do not know node.js very well and was wondering if it would be a good fit for this. Does it support this non blocking http request and response? Does it depend on the library that I am using to make the request?
Yes, all I/O operations in node.js are non blocking. It’s general design priciple of node.js.
Node.js already comes with API to make http requests..
