== Features ==

Sails.js offers a host of features and attributes. It is built on Node.js and [[Express.js]], enabling applications to be madewritten with 100%in JavaScript. This includes models, views, controllers, configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database). Similar to Ruby on Rails,<ref name=":1" /> Sails.js provides an [[object-relational mapping]] interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction layer.<ref name="WaterlineJS">{{cite web|url=http://waterlinejs.org/|title=Waterline.js home page}}</ref>

A number of other packages are included to enable fast auto-generated [[REST API]]s, [[WebSocket]]s by default using [[Socket.io]];<ref name=":1" /> and compatibility features making it front-end agnostic so that many tools and frameworks ([[AngularJS]], [[React.js]], [[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[iOS]], etc.) are supported.

Like Ruby on Rails,<ref name=":1" /> Sails.js provides an [[object-relational mapping]] interface using Waterline.js, which abstracts the database interaction. This enables a uniform API regardless of the underlying database being used.<ref name="WaterlineJS">{{cite web|url=http://waterlinejs.org/|title=Waterline.js home page}}</ref>
