Yes, Node.js is a charge item, you can get a "Free 90-day trial" of the product though. https://www.ibm.com/us-en/marketplace/sdk-nodejs-compiler-zos
The charge for the product is: "One-time charge price metric based on Value Units" I have always attempted to AVOID having to deal with billing from IBM, because just when I think I understand it, well they change all the questions! So, I have no clue what that means. Al Nims Systems Admin/Programmer III UF Information Technology East Campus P.O.

I like XML because Java supports it "natively". But I think that JSON is "better" mainly because it can do the same thing with fewer characters. And, similar to XML/Java, JSON is native to JavaScript. I just noticed that NodeJS is on ShopzSeries. I can't tell, but it seems to be a cost item, unlike Java. This is unfortunate for me because the nodejs implementations on Linux and Windows are cost-free. So, once again, IBM makes those platforms more attractive to our bottom-line management. But then, we don't run nodejs because "It's not a Microsoft product.". Yes, I actually got that from a Windows person who was looking at a thin-client desktop product, many years ago. -- We all have skeletons in our closet. Mine are so old, they have osteoporosis.
