Java EE vs Markdown: What are the differences?
Developers describe Java EE as "The standard in community-driven enterprise software". It is developed using the Java Community Process, with contributions from industry experts, commercial and open source organizations, Java User Groups, and countless individuals. It offers a rich enterprise software platform and with over 20 compliant implementations to choose from. On the other hand, Markdown is detailed as "Text-to-HTML conversion tool/syntax for web writers, by John Gruber". Markdown is two things: (1) a plain text formatting syntax; and (2) a software tool, written in Perl, that converts the plain text formatting to HTML.
Java EE and Markdown belong to "Languages" category of the tech stack.
reddit, StackShare, and Asana are some of the popular companies that use Markdown, whereas Java EE is used by TripAdvisor, GameDuell, and ICT Health. Markdown has a broader approval, being mentioned in 756 company stacks & 718 developers stacks; compared to Java EE, which is listed in 11 company stacks and 9 developer stacks.
