Node.js 22 vs 24: Complete Evolution Guide for Modern Developers in 2025

// Performance improvements showcase
const { performance } = require("perf_hooks");

// Before Node.js 22: Slower module resolution
const start = performance.now();
const express = require("express");
const app = express();

// Node.js 22: Native WebSocket support
const WebSocket = require("ws"); // No longer needed!

// New native implementation
const ws = new WebSocket("wss://echo.websocket.org");

ws.on("open", function open() {
  console.log("Connected using native WebSocket API");
  ws.send("Hello from Node.js 22!");
});

ws.on("message", function message(data) {

});
