How do node.js could deal with files and servers

I tried to search it in the search bar. But I didn't found. I apologise if there were any post related to it. Well. I will jump to the question. So node.js is a java script library based on chromes v8 js engine. But how it could manage files and servers which cannot be done with js much . (IK we can do something with AJAX. But js is still not a server side language). Is it using another language? Can anyone solve this problem? Thanks!

Mellifluous🛡️ according to the articles it said that node.js is a runtime environment. So node.js still equivalent with standard js or is it a completely different thing?

The fs module provides an API for interacting with the file system Study the following links would make you understand the Node.js file and directory systems work. https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_file_system

Seniru Pasan already clearly show on the reference document. Spend some time to read it over. Practice the example codes on node.js server then.
