Can node js make a restful service call

Question

Is it possible for a node js application to make a call to another web application on Tomcat with a restful service call?

Answer 1

Yes, a node.js application can do any sort of networking you would like including make a REST call to another server.

The request module makes this particularly easy, though it can also be done with just the plain http module with a bit more coding.
