webserver - what is difference between web server and application server -


i confused in web server , application server. can tell me difference between these two.

in practice, there little difference , people use term interchangeably.

the subtle difference me is:

  • a web server serves web pages , static content. not dynamic content.

  • an application server can web server (with dynamic content), though might not @ all. offers api programmers.

as usual, wikipedia has best definitions.

web server:

the computer application helps deliver content can accessed through internet.

application server:

an application server software framework dedicated efficient execution of procedures (programs, routines, scripts) supporting construction of applications.

...

an application server acts set of components accessible software developer through api defined platform itself.
