WebAssembly vs Java Applets

A Detailed Comparison: WebAssembly vs. Java Applets WebAssembly and Java Applets are technologies aimed at enhancing web applications by enabling execution of code directly in the browser. However, they have significant differences in terms of architecture, performance, security, and modern web development practices. Let's compare these two technologies in-depth, along with scenarios and code samples. WebAssembly Architecture: WebAssembly is a binary instruction format that allows high-level languages to be compiled into a low-level bytecode that can run efficiently in browsers. It provides a secure sandboxed environment where code can execute without direct access to browser internals. WebAssembly modules can be integrated into web applications, enabling performance-critical components to run faster than JavaScript. Performance: WebAssembly code can achieve near-native performance, making it suitable for applications requiring complex computations or real-time interacti
