JavaScript and Frameworks Comparison

5-Mark Questions

1. Compare Java and JavaScript

Feature Java JavaScript


Type Object-oriented, compiledInterpreted scripting language
Usage Standalone & enterprise apps
Web development (client & server)
Platform Runs on JVM Runs in browsers & Node.js
Syntax Strict, strongly typed Loosely typed, dynamic
Execution Needs compilation Interpreted directly by browsers

2. Need for Client-Side and Server-Side Programming

Client-Side Programming:
- Runs on the user's browser
- Improves user experience and interactivity
- Reduces server load
- Examples: JavaScript, HTML, CSS

Server-Side Programming:
- Runs on the web server
- Handles data processing, authentication, database interactions
- Ensures security and business logic processing
- Examples: Node.js, PHP, Python, Java

3. Explain NPM

NPM (Node Package Manager) is a package manager for JavaScript used with Node.js.
Features:
- Package Installation (`npm install <package-name>`)
- Dependency Management
- Version Control
- Script Execution (`npm init` to create package.json)

4. Features of JavaScript
1. Lightweight and Interpreted
2. Dynamic Typing
3. Prototype-Based Object-Oriented
4. Event-Driven and Asynchronous
5. Cross-Platform Compatibility
6. First-Class Functions
7. Support for APIs like DOM, AJAX

5. Event-Driven Programming

Event-driven programming allows execution based on user actions or system events.


Key Concepts:
- Event Listener (detects events like clicks, key presses)
- Event Handler (executes code when an event occurs)
- Event Loop (manages asynchronous execution)

Example in JavaScript:
```javascript
document.getElementById("btn").addEventListener("click", function() {
alert("Button clicked!");
});
```
