If you have experience working with either JavaScript, JAVA or C#,

please share some of the things each of these languages have in


common or things that are different. Back up your knowledge with
outside sources. If this is your first exposure, use research to
explore some of these features. Cite sources within your post.

JavaScript is a lightweight programming language(“scripting language”) and


used to make web pages interactive. It can insert dynamic text into
HTML.JavaScript is also known as browser’s language.
JavaScript(JS) is not similar or related to Java. Both the languages have a C like
a syntax and are widely used in client-side Web applications, but there are few
similarities only.

Java is an object-oriented programming language and have virtual machine


platform that allows you to create compiled programs that run on nearly every
platform. Java promised, “Write Once, Run Anywhere”.

C# is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language. It is intended


for a simple, modern and general-purpose language. It has been designed to
build software ranging from small functions to large operating systems.  It is
also a multi-paradigm language that is strong typed, imperative, declarative,
functional, and component-oriented,
When Microsoft took the .NET initiative in around 2000, it introduced C#
approved by the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) and
International Standards Organization (ISO). The hash symbol ‘#’ in C# is
commonly referred to as the word ‘SHARP’. C# is an object-oriented
programming language that comes fully integrated with the Visual Studio IDE.
The coding structure of C# closely resembles Java. C# requires compilation and
hence can be compiled in a variety of platforms. C# is also a part of
Microsoft’s .NET framework.

These languages having similarities and difference. Each


languages has its own features, one programming language cannot
replace another. Depending on application and need we have to
choose the programming langugages. Javascript, java and C# are high
level programming language, which means human being can
understand and its is written in readable format. These
programming languages are converted by compiler so that cpu can
executed the program Let us discuss advantage and disadvantages of
these programming language and based on that we can choose
which one is best for different application.

Advantages of JavaScript
 Speed. Client-side JavaScript is very fast because it can be run
immediately within the client-side browser. Unless outside resources are
required, JavaScript is unhindered by network calls to a backend server.

 Simplicity. JavaScript is relatively simple to learn and implement.


 Popularity. JavaScript is used everywhere on the web.
 Interoperability. JavaScript plays nicely with other languages and can be
used in a huge variety of applications.

 Server Load. Being client-side reduces the demand on the website


server.

 Gives the ability to create rich interfaces.


Disadvantages of JavaScript
 Client-Side Security. Because the code executes on the users’ computer,
in some cases it can be exploited for malicious purposes. This is one
reason some people choose to disable Javascript.
 Browser Support. JavaScript is sometimes interpreted differently by
different browsers. This makes it somewhat difficult to write cross-
browser code.

Advantages of Using Java


Here, are pros/benefits of using Java-

 Detailed Documentation is available.


 The large pool of skilled developers available
 Allows you to form standard programs and reusable code.
 It is a multi-threaded environment which allows you to perform many
tasks at the same time in a program.
 Excellent performance
 Huge array of 3rd party libraries
 Easy to navigate libraries

Disadvantages of Using Java


Here, are cons for using Java-

 JIT compiler makes the program comparatively slow.


 Java has high memory and processing requirements. Therefore
hardware cost increases.
 No support for low-level programming constructs like pointers.
 You don't have any control over garbage collection as Java does not
provide functions like delete(), free().

Advantages of Using C#
Here, are pros/benefits for using C#

 Offers proper lambda and generics support


 Backed by Microsoft Corporation
 Language Integrated Query (LINQ)
 Easy extension methods
 Automatic garbage collection
 Properties with getting/set methods
 Automated memory management
 Best in class cross-platform support
 Backward Compatibility

Disadvantages of Using C#
Here, are the cons of using C#
 Poor x-platform GUI
 C# is an internal part of the .NET framework so the server running the
application must be windows based.
 It is proprietary, so you need to spend upfront cost to purchase the
software
 C# is less flexible as it mostly depends on the .Net framework.
 C# runs slowly, and the program needs to be compiled each time when
any changes are made.

JavaScript C# vs. Java – Which is best for you?

As per your requirement and usage, you can select any language between
javaScript, Java or C#. However, Javascript is used for client-server application.
Java is a highly secure and feature-rich programming language which is known
for its platform compatibility and robustness. On the other hand, C# is an
object-oriented language which is mostly used by the .Net programmers. The
selection is purely depend on kind of application you wish to develop.

KEY DIFFERENCE

 Java runs on the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) whereas C# is designed


to be run on the Common Language Runtime (CLR). Where as java script
runs on browser
 Java is a class-based Object Oriented language whereas C# is Object-
Oriented, functional, strong typing, component-oriented. Javascript is
scripting language less type.
 Java doesn’t support for operator overloading whereas C# provides
operator overloading for multiple operators. Javascript not suitable for
this purpose.
 Java does not support pointers while C# supports pointer only in an
unsafe mode. Javascript do not have pointer.
 In Java, Arrays are a direct specialization of Object whereas arrays in C#
are a specialization of System. Javascript not designed for typical
programming purpose.
