2. Performance
3. Developer’s Community
4. Learning
5. Extensibility
6. Suitability
7. When to use What?
8. Conclusion
1. Universality
•JavaScript wins over PHP because of the fact that it is a full-stack development language.
It serves as both front-end and back-end technology.
•PHP is used for the server-side scripting language, back-end development with
its LAMP stack.
2. Performance
•JavaScript is asynchronous and does not wait for IO operations. This nature of Node.js allows it to
work simultaneously through the whole code without waiting for function execution. That is why
JavaScript fast and is best for streaming platforms.
•PHP is synchronous; it waits for IO operations execution. The second line of code in PHP doesn’t work
until the first line is executed. This nature makes PHP loses in regards to speed.
3. Developer’s Community
•JavaScript is enjoyed by the developers because of its full-stack nature. It is popular and extensible.
JavaScript is used by popular sites like Netflix, Uber, Instagram, Linked In, eBay, and many
more. According to Statista, 69 % of developers worldwide use JavaScript, and 5 % more plan to
adopt this language.
•PHP is popular for its easy and simple deployment nature. PHP is open-source and flexible. Big
companies are using PHP just like Wikipedia, Facebook, Tumblr, and many more. According to the
W3Tech survey, 79% of all websites use PHP.
4. Learning
•JavaScript is not difficult in terms of learning, but it is more complicated than PHP. JavaScript
developer should have more knowledge as a beginner than the PHP developer.
•PHP is easy to learn as the PHP peculiarities are much easier to understand. The server setup is
as simple as .php file creation.
5. Extensibility
•JavaScript has many frameworks. It is capable of combination with HTML, XML, and Ajax. The
most common server-side framework is Node.js. The popular front-end JavaScript technologies
are Angular, React, Vue. That’s why we can say there are more opportunities in JavaScript
development.
•PHP is capable of combination with HTML only. CMSs like WordPress are the advantage of PHP.
This helps in making web development cheaper. PHP can be extended with servers
like MySQL or PostgreSQL.
6. Suitability
•JavaScript is perfectly suitable for large projects. It can be used to develop 3D games, IoT
products, and almost any software application type.
•PHP tool is basically used for dynamic page development. It suits best for blogs, learning
management systems, and e-commerce sites as PHP are based on CMS.
