Features

Sails.js offers a host of features and attributes. Because it is built on Node.js and Express.js,[6] enabling applications to be made with 100% JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database).

Like Ruby on Rails,[2] Sails.js provides an object-relational mapping interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction.[6] This enables a uniform API regardless of the underlying database being used.[7]

A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generated REST APIs, WebSockets by default using Socket.io;[2] and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic so that many tools and frameworks (AngularJS, React.js, Android, iOS, etc.) are supported.
