"JAVASCRIPT"...............The term JavaScript has “Java” in it. Often new programmers assume that both these terms are related. Many, beginners, think JavaScript as an extension to Java. And thus, they wonder if both languages are needed to develop apps and websites.
Well, during the early development days, Java and JavaScript crossed paths, but only briefly. They complimented each other on the web, and they still do so. But they are entirely different. Both languages have marked a prominent presence in the world of app and web development. But they are not rivals. Instead, Java and JavaScript rule the world of programming in their separate roles.
But what exactly is Java and JavaScript ,and what makes them different?
Towards the end of this blog , you will get to know what makes Java and JavaScript different, which is better, and how to find the one best suited to your development needs.

What is Java?
Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming (OOP) language. Applications developed with Java can run across multiple platforms. James Gosling developed it, in 1995, at Sun Microsystems.
Features of Java:-
- It follows OOP concepts like inheritance, abstraction, and encapsulation.
- It works on Write Once, Run Anywhere (WORA) theory.
- It uses a compiler to execute codes.
- It facilitates distributed computing.
- It is a robust, multithreaded language with automatic memory management.
- Its applications can run on any platform that has Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Java Development Tools
A plethora of development tools are available to write, test, and run Java codes. The best ones are–- NetBeans
- Eclipse
- Apache Maven
- IntelliJ Idea
- Android Studio
What is Javascript?
Features of JavaScript:-
- It is lightweight.
- It supports OOP concepts like polymorphism.
- It is a cross-platform language.
- It is mainly a client-side programming language.
- It controls website content, depending on the user’s actions and inputs.
- It uses an interpreter to check scripts.
- It complements and integrates with Java.
JavaScript Development Tools:-
JavaScript programming can be done with a simple text editor like Notepad. But to develop better apps, several sophisticated development tools with additional features have been designed. Some of them are –- Sublime Text
- Gulp
- Apache Cordova
