I know jQuery & Java. I want to build a backend for my android app. I don't want to learn Javascript right now. Can I make backend via Express.js with only jQuery knowledge? Or is there any backend service like Express.js based totally on jQuery?

See [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1801160/can-i-use-jquery-with-node-js) anyway to use JQuery you should already know javascript – Alessandro May 04 '17 at 06:53

Your question does not make any sense. If you want to use JavaScript libraries and frameworks, you **MUST** learn JavaScript. jQuery does not exist on the server side, but you could use [cheerio](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cheerio). – Badacadabra May 04 '17 at 14:02

JQuery is browser based. If you are dealing with JSON objects then it would be easy to use Express.js which is a library commonly used with Node.js. You cannot use JQuery to code backend.

You cannot use jQuery for backend development and you can't use it with express.js, it's limited to frontend.
Generally if you already know jQuery, plain javascript will be easy to pick up. And you generally don't need a very high level of javascript knowledge to get started with express.js atleast.
I'd suggest an hour of codecademy or something of the like to get to grips with the syntax.
