Background Information
Meteor is an open source real-time JavaScript web application framework written on top of Node.js. Rapid prototyping and cross-platform produced code is allowed by Meteor. Compared to AngularJS, Meteor was designed to be easy to learn. Meteor also supports MongoDB and future database support is coming.
