Here you will learn about difference between java, core java and advance java. Mostly beginner java programmers have confusion about these 3 terms in their mind. Below I have explained them to clear their confusion.
Java
It is a high level programming language.
Java is available in three flavors.
- Java Standard Edition (J2SE or JSE)
- Java Enterprise Edition (J2EE or JEE)
- Java Macro Edition (J2ME or JME)
Java is a combination of above there things.
Core Java (J2SE or JSE)
- It consists of all fundamental or basic concepts of java language.
- Core java is also called as Java Standard Edition i.e. J2SE or JSE.
- It is used for making standalone java applications.
- All the concepts of core java are used in advance java technologies. So we can say that nobody can learn advance java without knowing core java.
- Example: It includes topics like OOPs, Exception Handling, File IO, Collections, AWT and Swing, Threads, JDBC, etc.
Advance Java (J2EE or JEE)
- It consists of advance java concepts, technologies and frameworks.
- Advance java is also called as Java Enterprise Edition i.e. J2EE or JEE.
- It is used for making java web applications.
- Example: It includes topics and technologies like Servlet, JSP, EJB, Spring, Struts, Hibernate, Web Services, Networking, etc.
