When it comes to web development, one has ample programming languages to choose from, every other has its own sets of pros and cons but, undoubtedly two of the major languages which hit the mind instantly are Asp.net and Java. Both these web languages are highly popular as Asp.net is well established internet language; Java holds its share in desktop and mobile application. Ideally, both of them are capable of designing an innovative site which is feasible and flexible.
In this article we will discuss the differences about two major players in IT languages.
- What they stand for
Asp.net is basically an entity of Microsoft. It is a framework which is designed and developed for executing applications on windows platform and sever operating system mainly. It provides features and functions which is best suited for windows but also support connectivity to other system.
On the other hand Java is owned by Oracle Corporation, which was originally created by Sun Microsystems. It is one of the most popular programming languages in use according to survey in 2016. Java applications are basically compiled of bytecode that can run on any Java virtual machine (JVM) regardless of their operating platform.
- Compatibility
Asp.net has several open source implementations like mono which enables it to create cross-platform applications which can run on various platforms; it is primarily targeted to work on windows operating system.
Java is an independent language in a great extent. It is based on the idea to let application developers ‘write once, run anywhere’ i.e. same application should run on different kinds of computers, gadgets, and other devices. There is no need to rewrite the application every time when platform differ.
- Language Independent
In term of ease of language one could say Java is much easier than asp.net or php too. Developing within J2EE Java framework, one is confined to work on the java language all through development which is an easier task.
On the other hand, it may seem little tough for the developer especially the beginner to work on the asp.net language, as it comprises and supports C#, F#, and VB.net languages as well. But, at the same time it gives a chance to explore different programs on a framework.
- Feasibility and innovation
When we talk about feasibility, both the frameworks are available easily.
Talking about asp.net it is a concrete and free product which is developed and owned by IT giant Microsoft. The main advantage of asp.net is that it doesn’t rely on third party vendors and one could easily implement it directly. But, being very extensible, there are many editions available with third party vendors. Also, Microsoft is solely responsible for any innovation and development of this framework.
On the other side, Java is open-source in nature, which means numbers of vendors are present who provide this framework. Also, it gives an extra edge to it as competition between Java EE vendors drives innovation and hence one could get wide variety of tools, products, and applications from different vendors.
Both the popular languages are widely used in the web development industry, providing stiff competition to php. An Asp.net company provides exquisite features and deals to clients, especially in India. One could consider these companies if need to outsource the project.
