Comparison With Similar Technologies
JSP pages are similar to PHP pages and ASP.NET Web Forms, in that all three add server-side code to an HTML page. However, all three terms refer to a different component of the system. JSP refers to the JSP pages, which can be used alone, with Java servlets, or with a framework such as Apache Struts. PHP is itself a programming language, designed for dynamic Web pages. ASP.net is a framework comparable to Struts or JavaServer Faces that uses pages called Web Forms.
While JSP pages use the Java language, ASP.NET pages can use any .NET-compatible language, usually C#.
ASP.NET is designed for a Microsoft Windows web server, while PHP and Java server technologies (including JSP) are fairly operating system agnostic.

Famous quotes containing the words comparison with, comparison and/or similar:
“From top to bottom of the ladder, greed is aroused without knowing where to find ultimate foothold. Nothing can calm it, since its goal is far beyond all it can attain. Reality seems valueless by comparison with the dreams of fevered imaginations; reality is therefore abandoned.”
—Emile Durkheim (1858–1917)
“The comparison between Coleridge and Johnson is obvious in so far as each held sway chiefly by the power of his tongue. The difference between their methods is so marked that it is tempting, but also unnecessary, to judge one to be inferior to the other. Johnson was robust, combative, and concrete; Coleridge was the opposite. The contrast was perhaps in his mind when he said of Johnson: “his bow-wow manner must have had a good deal to do with the effect produced.””
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“The history of all Magazines shows plainly that those which have attained celebrity were indebted for it to articles similar in natureto Berenice—although, I grant you, far superior in style and execution. I say similar in nature. You ask me in what does this nature consist? In the ludicrous heightened into the grotesque: the fearful coloured into the horrible: the witty exaggerated into the burlesque: the singular wrought out into the strange and mystical.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
