Part A: (5x2=10)
1. Define Framework:
o A framework is a pre-built collection of libraries, tools, and components that provide structure for
building applications. It helps developers by providing a standard way to build and deploy
software applications, abstracting low-level tasks and allowing faster development.
2. What are the Components of Framework?
o The main components of a framework typically include:
Libraries: Pre-written code that provides general functionality.
API: Interfaces that allow the framework to interact with other software.
Tools: Utilities that make development easier (e.g., debuggers, build tools).
Architecture: A structured set of design principles for organizing code.
Configuration Files: Files that specify how the framework should be set up and run.
3. Difference Between GET & POST Request:
o GET Request:
Data is sent via the URL.
Limited data size.
Not secure (data is visible in the URL).
Typically used for retrieving data.
o POST Request:
Data is sent in the request body.
No data size limitation.
More secure than GET (data is not exposed in the URL).
Typically used for submitting forms or updating data.
4. Difference Between Apache & IIS Web Server:
o Apache:
Open-source and free.
Cross-platform (works on Linux, Windows, etc.).
Highly customizable with modules.
Supports many programming languages, such as PHP.
o IIS (Internet Information Services):
A proprietary web server by Microsoft.
Primarily runs on Windows OS.
Supports ASP.NET and other Microsoft technologies.
Provides a GUI for management (compared to Apache’s command-line interface).
5. Define AJAX:
o AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) is a web development technique that allows for
asynchronous communication between the client and server without refreshing the entire webpage.
It enables web pages to update dynamically by exchanging small amounts of data with the server
behind the scenes.
o AJAX typically uses JavaScript, XML/JSON, and XMLHttpRequest to fetch and display data
dynamically.

1. Explain Web Development Framework with Suitable Block Diagram: A web development
framework is a collection of tools and libraries that help developers create web applications. It provides
reusable components for common tasks (e.g., database interactions, authentication, routing, etc.) and
defines the structure of the web application.
o Model Layer: Handles data logic, such as database operations.
o View Layer: Represents the user interface and how the data is presented.
o Controller Layer: Manages the user input, processes it, and interacts with the model.
2. Explain the Components of Web Development Framework in Detail: A typical web development
framework consists of the following components:
o Routing: Directs HTTP requests to the appropriate controller based on the URL.
o Controller: Contains business logic that processes user requests, manipulates data, and updates
views.
o Model: Handles data, interactions with the database, and defines the application's core entities.
o View: Represents the UI and the data presentation to the user.
o Middleware: Functions that handle the request before reaching the controller, like authentication
or logging.
o Template Engine: Used to dynamically generate HTML from data, often in MVC frameworks.
3. Explain MVC Architecture with a Suitable Example:MVC (Model-View-Controller) is a software
design pattern that separates an application into three interconnected components:
o Model: Represents the data and the business logic of the application.
o View: Displays the data to the user in a structured format (UI).
o Controller: Acts as an intermediary between the Model and the View, processing user input and
updating the View accordingly.
o Model: The Post class represents the blog post data and interacts with the database to save or
retrieve posts.
java
Copy code
public class Post {
privateint id;
private String title;
private String content;
}
o View: An HTML page that displays the blog posts to the user.
html
Copy code
<html>
<body>
<h1>Blog Posts</h1>
<div id="posts"></div>
</body>
</html>
o Controller: The PostController manages user requests and fetches the appropriate data from
the model, then passes it to the view.
java
Copy code
public class PostController {
public void showPosts() {
List<Post> posts = PostService.getAllPosts();
request.setAttribute("posts", posts); // Pass data to the view
view("posts.jsp"); // Render the view
}
}
4. Enlist the Features of MVC Framework:
o Separation of Concerns: Divides the application into three parts: Model (data), View (UI), and
Controller (logic).
o Maintainability: Easier to update and manage code due to separation of concerns.
o Reusability: Model and Controller can be reused across different views.
o Testability: Easier to write unit tests for each component.
o Flexibility: Changes in one part (e.g., the UI) do not affect other parts (e.g., the business logic).
o Scalability: Supports large applications by modularizing different concerns.
5. Explain in Detail About the Understanding of Different Stacks:Technology Stacks are collections of
technologies used together to build a web application. Common technology stacks include:
o LAMP Stack:
Linux (Operating System)
Apache (Web Server)
MySQL (Database)
PHP (Programming Language)
Usage: LAMP is widely used for dynamic websites and web applications.
o MEAN Stack:
MongoDB (Database)
Express.js (Backend Framework)
Angular (Frontend Framework)
Node.js (JavaScript Runtime)
Usage: MEAN stack is used for building single-page applications (SPAs) and scalable
web applications using JavaScript.
o MERN Stack:
MongoDB (Database)
Express.js (Backend Framework)
React.js (Frontend Library)
Node.js (JavaScript Runtime)
Usage: Similar to MEAN, but uses React for building dynamic user interfaces.
o Django Stack:
Django (Backend Framework, Python-based)
PostgreSQL (Database)
Nginx (Web Server)
Usage: Ideal for rapid development with Python and focuses on security and scalability.
o Ruby on Rails Stack:
Ruby on Rails (Web Framework, Ruby-based)
PostgreSQL/MySQL (Database)
Usage: A high-level framework that allows rapid application development in Ruby.
Choosing a Stack depends on the type of project (e.g., speed, scalability, developer preference, etc.).

Part A: (5x2=10)
1. What is Node.js?
o Node.js is a runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code on the server-side. It is
built on the V8 JavaScript engine and is designed for building scalable network applications. It is
event-driven, non-blocking, and uses an asynchronous I/O model.
2. What is NPM?
o NPM (Node Package Manager) is a package manager for Node.js. It is used to install and
manage dependencies (libraries and tools) for Node.js applications. NPM also includes a
command-line tool to interact with the NPM registry, where packages are stored.
3. What is Querystring?
o The querystring module in Node.js is used to parse and format URL query strings. It can be used
to extract data from query parameters in a URL and can also convert an object into a query string.
o Example:
javascript
Copy code
constquerystring = require('querystring');
const parsed = querystring.parse('name=John&age=30');
console.log(parsed); // { name: 'John', age: '30' }
4. What is an EventEmitter?
o EventEmitter is a core Node.js class that allows an object to emit events and listen for those
events. It facilitates the event-driven architecture in Node.js. It is used for handling events and
responding to them asynchronously.
o Example:
javascript
Copy code
constEventEmitter = require('events');
constmyEmitter = new EventEmitter();
myEmitter.on('event', () => {
console.log('An event occurred!');
});
javascript
Copy code
constfs = require('fs');
constreadStream = fs.createReadStream('source.txt');
constwriteStream = fs.createWriteStream('destination.txt');
readStream.pipe(writeStream); // Piping data from source.txt to
destination.txt
Part B: (5x8=40)
1. What is Node Package Manager? Also Explain the Command Line Options of NPM.
o Node Package Manager (NPM) is a tool for managing JavaScript packages (modules) that are
used in Node.js applications. It allows you to install, update, and uninstall packages, and also
manages project dependencies through the package.json file.
Example:
javascript
Copy code
constEventEmitter = require('events');
constmyEmitter = new EventEmitter();
// Emit an event
myEmitter.emit('greet', 'John'); // Output: Hello, John!
In this example:
Event Loop: Node.js operates in a non-blocking, asynchronous manner using an event loop. The event
loop continually checks if there are events to be processed, such as I/O operations, and executes the
corresponding callbacks. It allows Node.js to handle multiple requests simultaneously without blocking the
execution of the application.
o Process: The event loop goes through the various phases such as timers, I/O handling, and
callbacks until there are no more events to process.
4. Explain Timers and Its Types.
o Timers in Node.js allow you to schedule functions to run after a certain period or repeatedly.
They are used for deferred execution.
Types of Timers:
javascript
Copy code
setTimeout(() => {
console.log('Executed after 2 seconds');
}, 2000);
o setInterval(): Executes a function repeatedly at a specified interval (in milliseconds).
javascript
Copy code
setInterval(() => {
console.log('Executed every 2 seconds');
}, 2000);
o clearTimeout(): Stops a setTimeout() before it executes.
javascript
Copy code
let timeout = setTimeout(() => {
console.log('This will not be logged');
}, 2000);
javascript
Copy code
let interval = setInterval(() => {
console.log('This will not be logged');
}, 2000);
Example:
javascript
Copy code
const buffer = Buffer.from('Hello World');
console.log(buffer.toString()); // Output: Hello World
o ii) Streams: Streams are objects that allow you to read or write data in chunks, making them
suitable for handling large amounts of data (e.g., files). Streams in Node.js are classified into:
Readable Streams (e.g., fs.createReadStream())
Writable Streams (e.g., fs.createWriteStream())
javascript
Copy code
constfs = require('fs');
constreadStream = fs.createReadStream('file.txt', 'utf8');
readStream.on('data', (chunk) => {
console.log(chunk);
});
o iii) File System (fs): The File System (fs) module allows interaction with the file system. It
provides methods for reading, writing, and manipulating files.
Example:
javascript
Copy code
constfs = require('fs');
// Reading a file
fs.readFile('example.txt', 'utf8', (err, data) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(data); // Output the file content
});
// Writing to a file
fs.writeFile('output.txt', 'Hello, World!', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('File has been saved!');
});

1. What is NoSQL?
o NoSQL (Not Only SQL) refers to a class of database management systems designed to handle
large amounts of unstructured or semi-structured data. Unlike traditional relational databases
(SQL), NoSQL databases do not use fixed schemas and tables. They are highly scalable and
flexible, making them suitable for big data and real-time web applications.
o Examples of NoSQL databases include MongoDB, Cassandra, and CouchDB.
2. How to Insert Multiple Documents in a MongoDB Database?
o In MongoDB, you can insert multiple documents into a collection using the insertMany()
method. This method allows you to insert an array of documents in a single operation.
Example:
javascript
Copy code
constMongoClient = require('mongodb').MongoClient;
consturl = 'mongodb://localhost:27017';
constdbName = 'mydatabase';
const documents = [
{ name: 'John', age: 30 },
{ name: 'Jane', age: 25 },
{ name: 'Doe', age: 35 }
];

=> {
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log('User updated:', res);
});
o Delete: Remove a document from a collection.
javascript
Copy code
User.deleteOne({ name: 'John' }, (err) => {
if (err) console.log(err);
console.log('User deleted');
});
Explain How to Create User Account and Database Administrator Account in MongoDB. In
MongoDB, you can create users and assign roles (like database admin or read/write permissions) to those
users.
bash
Copy code
mongo
2. Switch to the Admin Database:
javascript
Copy code
use admin
3. Create a New User:
javascript
Copy code
db.createUser({
user: 'myuser',
pwd: 'mypassword',
roles: [{ role: 'readWrite', db: 'mydatabase' }]
});
o This creates a user with readWrite permission on mydatabase.
javascript
Copy code
db.createUser({
user: 'admin',
pwd: 'adminpassword',
roles: [{ role: 'dbAdmin', db: 'mydatabase' }]
});
o This creates a database administrator (dbAdmin) account for managing the database.
List and Explain the Features of Advanced MongoDB.Advanced Features of MongoDB:
o Sharding: Allows horizontal scaling by distributing data across multiple servers. It helps in
handling large-scale applications with massive amounts of data.
Sharding involves breaking data into smaller chunks and distributing them across
different machines to balance the load.
o Replica Sets: A set of MongoDB instances that maintain the same data set. They provide high
availability and data redundancy. If one node goes down, another can take over.
o Aggregation Framework: MongoDB provides a powerful aggregation framework for querying
and transforming data. It supports operations like filtering, grouping, and sorting to process data in
a pipeline.
o Full-text Search: MongoDB offers built-in full-text search capabilities, allowing efficient
searching for documents based on text content. This is useful for applications with search
functionalities.
o Transactions: MongoDB supports multi-document ACID transactions, allowing you to execute
multiple operations as a single unit of work. This feature is useful when you need atomicity for
multiple documents or collections.
