PHP , for example, stores session data on the server, that is, it creates a file with an identifier, and writes session values ​​to it in serialized form ( $_SESSION['foo']='bar' )

In NodeJS everything is different: a file with an identifier is also created, but the values ​​are not written to it , but written to the request object ( req.session.foo = 'bar' ). Session file:

 { "cookie": { "originalMaxAge":null, "expires":null, "httpOnly":true, "path":"/"}, "__lastAccess":1479380096570 } }

Only service information.
