I am working on an implementation of Node.js on non-jailbroken iOS devices. [this video] It is not ready for a public consumption yet, but I am making a good progress and have a plan to open-source it soon.

Node.js would only serve you as a data connection for JSON or whatever else you would need to pull/push with a network call. UPDATE : @Turion had a great comment and made me look a little deeper. Here's what the stack and google came up with: Native IOS app and node.js [LINK] and direct YouTube link to neu.Node (Node runnning on iphone!!!) [this video]

I search for this constantly, and although many of these answers are quite right in citing that V8 isn't iOS compatible, it seems that running a nodelike environment within iOS isn't all that impossible. The first option I discovered was called "Neunode" (hasn't been updated in a year). Here are some reference links if you want more: [LINK] [LINK] [this video] (httpserver example) Nodelike / Node.app Project [LINK] Nodelike is the core framework of the Node.app project, which has the goal to implement a roughly Node.JS-compatible interface using JavaScriptCore.framework on iOS 7 and OS X Mavericks.
