What is Java used for?

Compared to other programming languages, Java stands out for its functionality and environment security.

Programming in Java is incredibly common for web banking and fintech applications. In these spaces, a Java web application has become a must-have in recent years.

Why Java?

Scalability: When developers need to improve the response time and the performance of a web application made in Java, less invasive coding is required and less time is needed from developers.

Cross-Platform: The web app can be used on any device and in any operating system. Java Virtual Machine (JVM) can be used as an autonomous “machine” that can be superimposed on any operating system and on any hardware that exists.

Memory Management: Java has its own built-in mechanism for ‘garbage collection’ and deleting unneeded objects over heap. Thus, it helps in boosting the speed & effectiveness of the web application.

Multi-threading: Java web applications allow several users at the same time. This can be done by creating threads for each user within the same program instead of executing multiple copies on the same hardware.

Other Benefits

• Fewer glitches
• Low maintenance cost
• Faster response time
• Improved performance
• Multiple operations

Remote Method Invocation (RMI): Using RMI you can access the files on the server by calling the methods from any machine on the internet.
