Compare PHP and JSP two Web development technology, in the current situation is actually compared to PHP and Java Web development. Here are some of the major areas I have compared:
I. Comparison of languages
PHP is the server scripting language that interprets execution, first PHP has a simple and easy-to-follow feature. Grammar and C are more alike, so programmers who have studied C can quickly become familiar with the development of PHP. Java needs to learn Java grammar and familiar with some core class library, and understand object-oriented program design method. So Java is not as studious as PHP.
Second, database access comparison
Java accesses the database through JDBC and provides easy access to the database through database drives provided by different database vendors. The interface to access the database is more uniform.
PHP has different database access interfaces for different databases, so the database access code is not very versatile. For example, a Web application developed in Java requires little modification from the MySQL database to the Oracle database. and PHP needs to do a lot of modification work.
Third, the system design architecture comparison
Using Java Web Development technology, it is necessary to use the object-oriented system design method, and PHP is a process-oriented development approach. Therefore, it is necessary to do a lot of system analysis and design work in the early development of Java.
Iv. Cross-platform
Both Java and PHP have good cross-platform features. Almost all can be run on different operating systems, such as Linux or Windows, without any modifications.
V. Source code Security
PHP development of the program's source code is public, others get PHP development program can be modified.
Java Development Program, the last user to get is just some compiled class class, can not see the full source code, security high.
I personally think that PHP is suitable for rapid development, small and medium-sized applications, low-cost development, to be able to respond quickly to changing needs. Java is suitable for the development of large-scale application system, the prospect of application is broad, the system is easy to maintain, reusability is better.
