Features
Sails.js is built on Node.js and Express.js, enabling applications to be written in JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database). Similar to Ruby on Rails, Sails.js provides an object-relational mapping interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction layer.{{cite web|url=http://waterlinejs.org/|title=Waterline.js home page}}
A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generated REST APIs, WebSockets by default using Socket.io; and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic (AngularJS, React.js, Android, iOS, etc.).
