In this post, we are about to see the difference between Java vs Python. Though there are many differences and tools, we mentioned some major and popular frameworks, etc.
Java is a general-purpose programming language and Python is a multi-purpose programming language. Java was designed with the aim of being able to write anything from small programs to large enterprise applications. Python, on the other hand, was designed for simplicity and readability.
Python is considered as the best choice for beginners because it has an easy syntax and it has fewer bugs than Java. It also has a huge community that can help you find solutions to your problems faster than Java’s community.

Java vs Python:
Java | Python
|
| Java is a high-level, object-oriented programming language which was originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1995. | Python is a high-level, object-oriented programming language, interpreted programming language. It was invented back in 1991, by Guido Van Rossum. |
| Java is a statically typed and compiled language. | Python is a dynamically typed and interpreted language. |
| Java has large number of Frameworks. Popular ones are Spring, Hibernate, etc. | Compare to JAVA, Python has lower number of Frameworks. Popular ones are Mango, Flask. |
| In Java, Syntax is complex as it throws error if you miss semicolon or curly braces. | In Python, Syntax is easy to remember almost similar to human language. |
| Java Database Connectivity is most popular and widely used to connect with database. | Python’s database access layers are weaker than Java’s JDBC. This is why it rarely used in enterprises. |
| In Java, Any computer or mobile device which is able to run the Java virtual machine can run a Java application. | In Python, Python programs need an interpreter installed on the target machine to translate Python code. Compared to Java, Python is less portable. |
| Java is old and still widely used, so it also has a lot of libraries and a community for support. | Python has gained popularity, in large part, due to its communicatively; people just grasp it easier. With it, the libraries for Python are immense, so a new programmer will not have to start from scratch. |
| Java is best for Desktop GUI apps, Embed Systems, Web application services, etc. | Python is excellent for scientific and numeric computing, Machine learning apps, more. |
