Reasons for using Java as modern web application development

Java is regarded as an excellent programming language with respect to the development of cross platform network applications. It boasts of a really great ecosystem in comparison to that of .NET or Objective-C. The developer gets the option of seamless transition of what is written in Java. One also gets the option to carry out scripting in Groovy or JRuby. Therefore, the professionals can take advantage of the powerful concurrency abstractions in Clojure. Moreover, it is free of cost. Thus, it is an economical solution that also ensures fast performance. Its impressive portability lets it to run on almost everything.

Portability

Portability is almost synonymous and acts as a key to this programming language. A program that is being coded with Java will thus run on all devices as well as on all sorts of operating system. Thus with Java, there is hardly any need to go for creation of different releases with parity to different operating systems. Moreover, it has in built security that renders the coding of safe programs easier. C# is also not as portable as Java is and at the same time consists of very few features that Java does not have.

Framework for all types of Applications

It has a suitable framework to meet the requirements of every applications of a developer. Swing or JavaFX for example pertains to simple desktop applications whereas Servlet or JSP EJB to online enterprise or database application. JDBC or Hibernate can be used for database applications.

Thriving community

This programming language enjoys a huge community that actually helps the programmer in the most critical of situations. It has been building wizards that are similar to the help wizard windows one comes across in windows that are ready to offer suggestions as well as hints to the users.

Open source and open to new ideas

The chosen programming language is free as it is an open source. It thus provides the opportunity to a wide variety of modifications and changes. As a result, the expert communities in order to make it easier for the programmer to make changes on a regular basis like that of building new frameworks. Reference can be made of Spring and Hibernate.

Speed, Portability and Security

Java has been able to maintain a good balance between Portability, Security and Speed that stand as the three pillars for its success. These three pillars are crucial to lend support to every programming language. One can draw the comparison between the chosen programming language and C/C++ with respect to these three pillars. C/C++ is really good in terms of portability along with speed but poor in security.

It is highly secure as it operates through several layers of security. It does not offer access directly to the operating system that underlies its functions. Though it slightly affects the speed but ensures strict security. Thereby it creates a healthy balance of the three leading to a successful programming language.

Write once and run anytime, anywhere

Java offers the programmers the freedom to write a function once which afterwards is allowed to run anytime on any device thereby contributing to the exciting feature of platform independence. Java compiler instead of creating an executable file creates a code that is half compiled termed as Bytecode. This Bytecode is then submitted to the Java Virtual machine that is installed in a specific operating system that understands the same. It then processes the same code for running the application.

Efficient Coding Tools

Java has numerous tools to offer for the purpose of efficient coding like Eclipse, Jdeveloper, Netbeans, etc. There is always a rat race going on amongst the tools as which will outsmart the other with respect to the ease of usage along with availability of beneficial features.

Java offers the extended benefits of reflection, sandbox execution, memory management to its users. It provides a more reliable code along with the handling of all related problems for the user. It actually relies on a virtual processor for execution of the code. The memory allocation for example is handled by the garbage collector by freeing memory automatically when not used automatically which in turn helps in enabling the optimization of the memory usage which serves as the ultimate factor in systems characterized by memory constrains.

There is a lot more to Java application development that makes one able to go on writing with the same. The communities have always been developing something or the other to modify as well as enhance the language thereby adding to the ease of the programmers.
