I am looking for an tool that will let me develop NodeJS server side communication with external devices. Will b4J run on a IIS server?

I am going to try the hello world tutorial

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/webapp-hello-world-web-app.39808/

I am writing an HTML front end written in react that talks to a web services (b4j) through JSON.

The B4J will become the http server to communicate with the web client. I can then use the b4j server to asychrononous communicate with devices by ip and use streaming to send and receive data

The tutorial worked.

Impressive. I was able to debug the server side code using the b4j tool. This is a big improvement over nodejs and express. b4j has a smaller footprint and is easier to code for the client click events.

Its pretty cool how the b4j variables and events are automatically mapped to the HTML client controls.
