Why we use Java?
Great scalability and performance
Versatile, stable and portable
Excellent code maintainability
Used everyday by over 12 million developers
Perfect for cloud development and IoT
Can be used for mobile app development
Java is a statically typed language perfectly suited for high-volume, scalable and universal backend systems for large projects. Java is commonly used by global investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and Barclays and in server apps for huge Financial Services. That doesn’t mean that Java shouldn’t be the technology of choice for smaller server-side application!
When you should use Java?
Java can be used with ease in e-commerce and web applications thanks to great Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation in modern JVMs – Java byte code can be compiled on any given platform and be converted to native binaries for the device running the code. Another great advantage of Java is that it can be developed and deployed on almost every modern platform – your team can develop the code simultaneously on macOS and Windows, and then deploy it to a server running Linux. Moreover, Java code can be run cooperatively with many other languages targeting the JVM like Clojure, Scala, Jython, or JRuby.
In context of mobile app development, Java is a perfect choice for Android applications as it is the core language standing behind Android operation system. Although recently there have been other languages rising in popularity for Android app development like Kotlin or Flutter, Java is still considered to be the standard.
4 Benefits of Java you should now
Robustness
Java is purely object-oriented, hence it allows the programs to be coded and to work like real-life events and objects behave. Since pointers, related operations and memory management activities are not used, it is not necessary to handle garbage values and illegal addresses.
Multithreading
Native multithreading in Java allows to run more than one thread at a same time – it means that it is possible to maximize the usage of CPU by allowing to run many threads simultaneously. Multiple threads are sharing a common memory area and as a result increase the performance and efficiency of given application. Furthermore, these threads are running independently without affecting each other.
Portability and security
As mentioned before, Java is platform independent. It means that when Java code is compiled, it generates a byte code that contains just instructions for Java without any device or operating system dependent instructions. That is why this byte code can be transferred over different devices. During the execution of this code, JVM creates its own Runtime Environment and adds the machine instructions only to execute the code. In other words, Java applications are running in “sandboxes” which prevents them from harming the devices operating system. Moreover, Java gives us access to security features like advanced authentication, access control or cryptography to keep your web application secure.
Popularity
Java is more commonly used in your everyday life than you might think. For instance, it is worth to remember that every device based on Android OS is using Java. It has an extremely large amount of thoroughly tested libraries and frameworks – to this day, Java is maintaining its top position in most popular programming languages. With over 12 million programmers using Java every day and 13 billion Java-enabled devices it still gains a great interest of software development teams.
