The inspector feature of Node.js is actually the process that virtually all debugging tools use to communicate with Node.js. It supports a wide range of different tools, including many popular integrated development environments (IDEs). In this section, we'll explore how to apply the same approach we used for debugging with our Google's Chrome browser developer toolkit, and instead connect it to the popular JavaScript developer tool, JetBrain WebStorm.

IDEs offer many advantages; perhaps one of the most handy is the ability to add breakpoints to code without actually modifying the source code directly. Let's explore how to set up debugging support in JetBrain WebStorm.
