Java and Node.js form an essential part of software and application development. This is because Java and Node.js simplify the process of software development, application development, web development, etc. But, because of the ease of using both, choosing one is thus a difficult task.
Which is a better option in the modern age? Java v/s Node.js, which one is suitable for the future purpose? Many more such queries we will discuss in today’s blog. So, let’s start with a brief introduction of both.
1. Java
Java is a general-purpose programming language that is platform-independent. That is, you need to write the code only once. And then, it can run on any platform like Windows, Linux, etc. The same is the case with its parent language, C++. Because of the above reason, it is useful for various applications and beginners. Any prior knowledge of C/C++ can perform Java easily. Java comes as a JDK (Java Development Kit). This kit contains every component for the successful execution of any Java program. Download the Java Runtime Environment, or JRE, if you want to run Java programmes but not build them. It is a compiler-based language. For Java developers, several frameworks simplify the coding process.
2. Node.js
Node.js is based on JavaScript. It is an open-source cross-platform. We develop it over Google Chrome’s JavaScript V8 engine. Therefore, it is super quick. It is a library/framework suitable for server-side JavaScript applications. Node.js is a framework which is both lightweight and efficient in terms of usability and installation. There are many nodes.js frameworks like Express.js, Partial.js, etc.
So, now let’s discuss some useful points of comparison between Java and Node.js.
So, these 8 comparisons justify that both Java and Node.js are useful in their fields. Now, let’s point out some advantages of one over the other.
So, with this, the discussion over Java v/s Node.js comes to and. We hope that this blog will create a better picture of the two in your mind. Both Java and Node.js possess their own advantages and disadvantages. Their usage depends upon the project. Both these have a bright future as per the technology is concerned. So start your preparation from the day onwards.
