When we start learning Java, we often come across the terms like JIT and JVM. Having a good understanding of the relationship and differences between both terms is crucial, as they are part of fundamental concepts in the Java programming language. JVM is the main component of the Java Runtime Environment that executes Java bytecode, whereas JIT is a compiler available in the JVM. This article aims to explain the difference between JIT and JVM. JIT vs JVM in Java JVM It is an acronym that stands for Java Virtual Machine. The name itself suggests that it is something that ... Read More

When we start learning Java, we often come across the two terms Source code and Byte code. When a programmer writes Java code, it is in a form that a machine cannot understand. This code is termed as source code, which is easy to read and modify by humans, but not by machines. Therefore, before execution of code, we need to convert it into a machine readable format that is termed as machine code. However, Java first converts the source code to an intermediate code called byte code and then, into a machine code. Let’s discuss the difference between the ... Read More

In Java, the two terms length and capacity are related to the storage of elements in a collection like arrays, String and ArrayList. Length refers to the number of elements that are currently stored in a given collection, whereas capacity refers to the maximum number of elements that the collection can hold. In this article, we will explore the difference between Length and Capacity in Java. Length vs Capacity in Java Length To get the length of an array we use its ‘length’ property and we can get length of a String using its built-in method ‘length()’. In the ... Read More

The modern Internet is all about the World Wide Web which holds billions of websites and resources. There are several ways to access those web-based resources by following the protocols. Java has the concept of networking that is used to establish communication between clients and those resources. But, to locate a specific resource among the millions available, we need a unique identifier. There are three components: URI, URL and URN that helps us locate a certain resource on the web. Together they serve a single purpose, but through this article, we will discuss the difference between URI, URL and URN. ... Read More

In Java, concurrency is a technique that allows multiple tasks or processes to run simultaneously on a single processor or multiple processors. It can improve the performance and responsiveness of applications. However, it also introduces new challenges and complexities to the Java developers, such as synchronization and deadlock. To handle these complexities, Java provides a lock and monitor. Both are correlated to each other and used to synchronize access to shared resources and ensure thread safety. But, there exist some differences between a lock and a monitor in terms of their functionality and usage. Lock vs Monitor Monitor When we ... Read More

The debate about JavaEE and Spring is very common among Java developers. Both technologies emerged as popular frameworks for building enterprise applications using Java. Java EE is a more adaptable and distributed framework for developing big software. Spring, on the other hand, is open source and makes use of the POJO programming model to develop any type of Java application. Let’s find out more detailed differences between JavaEE and Spring through this article. JavaEE vs Spring JavaEE Java Platform Enterprise Edition, in short JavaEE is a set of specifications defined by Oracle. It is also known as J2EE. It aims ... Read More

Both SAX and DOM are a type of XML parser APIs. Here, API stands for Application Programming Interface and Parser is used to read and extract content from an XML document in desired format. From this line, it is clear that SAX and DOM are used to read XML documents. APIs are a modern way to migrate real time information on the Web. In this article, we will discuss the difference between SAX and DOM Parser in Java. Type of XML Parser Before going further in this article, let’s briefly discuss XML and its type. XML Its full form is ... Read More

VB.NET and Java are the two widely used programming languages available nowadays. They serve to develop a variety of software including web and android applications. The features and capabilities of both languages make it difficult to choose one over another. In this article, we will compare and analyze them based on some parameters such as syntax, features, performance, and applications to point out the difference between VB.NET and Java. VB.NET vs Java VB.NET It is an abbreviation that stands for Visual Basic .NET. It is a high-level and object-oriented programming language that was developed by Microsoft ... Read More
