in my package.json I am using
"scripts": { "start": "node app.js" }, but if I use nodemon replace with node app.js like
"scripts": { "start": "nodemon app.js" }, then what will happen? Because when I got any error at server side, other API also close working. So I think it happen because I use node app.js if I use nodemon app.js than server will restart or not.

Advantages of Using nodemon Module:It is easy to use and easy to get started. It does not affect the original code and no instance require to call it. It help to reduce the time of typing the default syntax node <file name> for execution again and again.
nodejs is a modern javascript-oriented server framework typically used to provide various services and realtime applications, while node is an older framework for transmitting data packets over amateur radio.
You can use nodemon to start a Node script. For example, if you have an Express server setup in a server. js file, you can start nodemon and watch for changes like this: nodemon server.
nodemon is like a live-server for your node application. any changes made in your node application will get reflected as server will restart again. as stated here : nodemon will watch the files in the directory in which nodemon was started, and if any files change, nodemon will automatically restart your node application.
we can access files with node as well but each time when we do changes we need to stop server and restart it. but if we accessing file with nodemon you no need to stop server and restart it only one line of command will save restart server time this one line helps you saving lot of development time and test your sample javascript code
But it is also not a framework. Rather Node is just a runtime environment which is built on Google Chrome’s JavaScript V8 Engine so that it can execute Javascript code outside of a Browser. Node provides additional modules which a developer can make use to build powerful Asynchronous I/O (Input-Output) Data Intensive Applications.
Now when you make changes to server.js, nodemon will detect this automatically, meaning that all you need to is refresh your browser to see them — you avoid the stop/starting of the application. What live-server does on the other hand is quite different. You should install it globally:
When you develop a node app and you make some changes, to see them in effect you have to restart the server.
When you launch your node.js application with Nodemon it will monitor for any changes and automatically restart the server, improving your productivity.
