In short: no. Node.js is a javascript runtime environment that executes javascript code outside of a web browser. If you want to learn more here is a link to a good description of what Node is good for: https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_intro.asp

a runtime environment is the environment that a given program is executed in. It contains things like the memory heap, call stack, and event queue.
