What is question mark "?" in JavaScript

Question

For most of you most probably a trivial question... What is the meaning of question mark in this code?

var pageQuery = parseInt(req.query.page);
var pageNumber = pageQuery ? pageQuery : 1;

If somebody could hand me over some reference also would be appreciated, as I could not find much about it. Thank you.
