    The input class makes it easy to provide server-side validation and scrubbing of user input. Setting Error messages. It doesn't require constant command-line access, It's great because it has a strong community and excellent documentation, but the problem is that it tries to retain backward compatibility with PHP 4 and therefore lacks a lot of "standard" features modern frameworks have such as auto-loading.

    1. Node.js is useful for building one page, fast, light-weight, scalable applications. 2. It is not suitable for building computationally extensive applications, it may lead to bad performance.

    Pros
    Open Source
    • CodeIgniter is an excellent tool when a simple database API is needed. Postgres, MySQL, and SQLite are all abstracted into a simple-to-use
    • CodeIgniter's simplicity is truly its best feature, because you are able to create controllers and methods based on the http://www.example//, and immediately being developing the application.
    • Flexibility is also another developer-friendly feature, because developers are able to design their application in any way - controllers, models, libraries, and helpers can be located anywhere or not used at all.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Faced some issue of session management, so that's why we used the Core Session library for that. It would be great if we could improve it a little bit.
    • Frameworks provide the option to setup all getters/setters, so having this option in it is a great idea.

    • It reduce performance while dealing with heavy computational task.
    • Node.js invites a lot of change in code, due to an unstable api.
    • Lack of library support.

    Node.js is easy and good to use, their support team is also good they always tend to help you, and solve your problem, even we know that Node is free to use and opensource but then also we get support from them but for getting much better results we need to purchase standard or enterprises support provided by them.

    CodeIgniter has a very small footprint. The source code is very small sized. Setting up a project is very easy. Follows MVC pattern. Consumes low memory and CPU. Well documented. Has a built-in forum for users to discuss and get the solution for issues. Periodically updates versions and patch fixes etc.

    Return on Investment
    Open Source
    • Because of quick turnaround on portals/intranets, it was easy to offer this as an option to clients.
    • As there is no cost associated with this framework, it was great not having to worry about purchasing or licensing. (MIT License).
    • Community support helps in that there are no ongoing support contracts or costs.
    • No direct representative for one-on-one support, if needed. This can cut into time used on projects.
