That's in part because it rather depends on what you're trying to do. For example, you might be: * trying to take existing code written for Node and run it in the browser * trying to take existing code written for the browser and run it in Node * trying to write a new codebase that will run in both places As has been mentioned, browserify is probably the best solution for the first of these. I think it's safe to say that it garners the most attention, in part because it's good at what it does. For the last case, you might want to take a look at YUI, which provides the abstractions to let you write your code once and run it in both places. Yahoo! has built Mojito on top of YUI and is using that to create multi-device apps that transparently share code between client and server. (BTW, you'll likely find that YUI is much more lightweight and modular than you think.) -- Martin Cooper > I have come across many ideas: > > express-expose: this is a nice replacement for parsing JSON objects rendered > by the the server. > https://github.com/visionmedia/express-expose > > This article exposes a hack to share backbone models on the Node server, and > they are trying to neat their hack with their Capsule and Thoonk frameworks: > http://andyet.net/blog/2011/feb/15/re-using-backbonejs-models-on-the-server-with-node/ > > Syncrhonizing Backbone model using socket.io > https://github.com/scttnlsn/backbone.io > > DNode and RPC as a method to use server methods on the client and vice versa > https://github.com/substack/dnode > > I know I've mixed a lot of topics, I thought sharing my confusion would help > to get more clarification, especially that there are a lot of production > projects based on Node, andI think that the community certainly have reached > a good collection of concepts and tools for sharing code between the server > and client.
