== Features ==

Sails.js offers a host of features and attributes. Because it is built on Node.js and [[Express.js]],{{Citation needed|date=July 2017}} it enables applications to be built with 100% JavaScript. This not only includes models, views, and controllers; but also configuration files, and adapters (e.g., database), etc.

Like Ruby on Rails, Sails.js provides an [[ORM|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>
