Differences between JSP and ASP
Overview
Let’s learn some differences between JSP and ASP in this tutorial.
JSP supports a set of HTML- like tags that interact with the Java objects on the web or application server. JSP specification allows web developers to create custom tags and tag libraries that can be loaded into a JSP page.
ASP/ASP.NET is a web development framework by Microsoft Corporation for building dynamic web pages.
JSP vs ASP
Some of the key differences between the Java Server Page(JSP) and the Active Server Page(ASP) are as follows:
| Java Server Page | Active Server Page |
| Java Server page is platform-independent. JSP software is server independent. | The Active Server Page is Windows operating system dependent.
ASP software is server-dependent and works only on Microsoft IIS.
|
|
jspengine.jar is responsible to interpret JSP code. |
asp.dll is responsible to interpret the ASP code. |
| JSP file extension is .jsp | ASP file extension is .asp |
| Scriplet is only in Java language or in JavaScript. | Scriplet is in ASP or in VBScript |
